CLIL Teacher Self-Study Sheet: Developing Bi/Multilingual Disciplinary Literacies in Upper Secondary Chemistry through Everyday Digital Practices

This self-study sheet supports teachers in planning engaging, inclusive chemistry lessons by:

• Connecting disciplinary literacy goals (e.g., explaining, analysing, evaluating) with language development

• Exploring how students’ everyday digital habits (e.g., TikTok, WhatsApp, YouTube) can support learning

• Encouraging bilingual and multilingual thinking in the biology classroom

• Helping teachers design tasks where students use language and content together, across languages, using meaningful digital tools.

It’s designed to prompt reflection and practical planning so teachers can gradually integrate multilingual disciplinary literacies using familiar digital platforms from students’ lives. It supports the move from theory to practice in senior cycle CLIL biology.
