If you were not limited by the demands of the national/regional curriculum, what would you say is the most important thing you would teach your students about your subject (in a CLIL context)? How would you assess their learning?

An individual teacher’s curriculum would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that it may result in a useful guide for teachers in order to be orientated, most of us often complain about two facts: firstly, there is not enough time to accomplish it, taking into account that our pupils should acquire correctly what they are taught. And secondly, teaching also implies to educate values and motivate people, what also requires time.

In my view, the most important thing I would teach to my students about my subjects is to work individually and collaboratively with materials and contents created by them and based in daily situations and, by all means, taking into account their own interests and needs so as to be more motivating classes.

On the one hand, I would introduce new technologies in my classes. On the other hand, all the activities of my lesson will be planned in the CLIL context using the steps of the 4C's framework: content, communication, cognition and culture; as well as trying to develop in my students Howard Gardner’s eight multiple intelligences.

And finally I would try to create an appropriate environment so as to get students:

 - Enjoy learning and discovering things

 - Be good at working in teams at the same time that assist one another

 - Be responsible students

 - Improve their self-esteem and self-confidence

As far as assessment is concerned, I believe that what students learn and how they learn depends on how assessment is designed. As to me, I would practice different ways of it. For example: rubrics to determine the performance quality of students’ task, oral interviews, portfolios where they register their own learning process, diaries self assessment, exam tests, daily investigating tasks, multiple choices tasks and the list goes on.
