AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM: GERMAN CLIL UNIT PLANNER SEQUENCE: F-6 YEAR LEVEL/BAND: 5-6 UNIT: KINDER UNIVERSITÄT LECTURE: BAHNSCHRANKE This Unit Planner developed by, and kindly shared by former AFMLTA President, Kylie Farmer, has been adopted by the Goethe-Institut Australien. Please note These resources are designed to be implemented optimally with a focus on the content knowledge as well as language. CLIL is flexible; however, to enable the learning of new content and/or skills through the Target Language some code switching between the students’ first language and the target language might be required. Assessment may be in the form of observation, conversation or a product. Focus Questions: How does a boom gate work? Why do we have railroad crossings? How do they work? How can using public transport be even more sustainable?
