REPORT:
This session aims to develop the four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) using a dictation and jigsaw reading. The activities are interactive and suitable for intermediate and advance students. It is a refreshing lesson to enable students to use prior knowledge of tourism in the country when giving ideas.
It builds students’ interaction and increase the awareness of the types of the impact tourism can have: social, economic and environmental. Content and Language Integrated Learning or CLIL is very much in use in this teaching though it is more of soft CLIL Since content is to be focused on, more language support than usual in an ELT lesson may be required.

REFLECTION:
This lesson is very applicable for students of Polytechnic, Community College and Vocational College. Content and language integration are possible to be done as the students are able to use different forms of language to obtain information. Therefore, this lesson can be made more interesting with the use of brochures, maps, posters and news advertisement of local tourist spot.
From a language point of view the CLIL 'approach' contains nothing new to the English Language Teacher (ELT). CLIL aims to guide language processing and support language production in the same way as ELT by teaching strategies for reading, listening, structures and lexis for spoken or written language. What different is that the language teacher is also the subject teacher, or that the subject teacher is also able to exploit opportunities for developing language skills.
