The demands of the task can be high
Recommendation: increase students' thinking time- Everything is CLIL takes a little longer. So, PAUSE, WAIT,..
Remember: Good learning starts with questions, not answers. So, Ask FOLLOW UP Questions
Effective Strategy: Breaking up the learning into chunks (Learning stations, checkpoints,..)
Importance of Scaffolding: We need visual displays (flashcards, posters, graphic organizers, checklists, etc.). See examples of Graphic Organizers here and also in CANVA
