The most important thing I would teach in a CLIL context. How would I assess?

If I weren’t limited by the demands of the curriculum I’m completely sure that I would reinforce and extend the body language block because I believe that these kind of activities developing the student in an integral way.
First of all, we need to know how important is body language in our society and above all in the schools, so it’s not only a kind of human communication, it’s the vehicle with people express something about them, their feelings, emotions...and to accept the individually differences and developing self-confidence. Today’s society is characterized by fast social and technological transformations that result in a new scenario for public participation that develop new ways of information and knowledge. In this socio-economic-social-technological, Body Language (BL) is a proposal great educational interest. The first task of the BL in Physical education (PE) is the development of values minimum of coexistence creating spaces and learning environments where freedom, creativity and love encourage personal development and social of our students, becoming what they are potentially. The dimensions of the BL promote the expression of the person, authentic communication, personal and collective creativity and awareness aesthetics, through the healthy game (is an holistic formation).
Body Language is vital in the field of education for its objectives, content and creative methodology and tool life skills and active participation in the construction of it. We can not forget that the BL is a pleasant and healthy physical activity, accessible to everybody, whose axis "rotates around the body, and the body is seen as <integrated person> sensory, psychological, social inseparable unit and motor. By this interactive character I believe that BL is a perfect way to work in a CLIL context so content, cognition, communication and culture are developed through the movement and body expression.

Secondly, I understand the way to assess these kind of activities like an evaluation process that helps the students learn more (and / or correct their mistakes) and for teachers to learn to work better (to improve their teaching practice). To put it another way, the purpose is not to assess the student, but to have information that allows to know how to help students improve and learn more ... and that the teacher / to improve their teaching. The evaluation must be more dialogue and mutual decision making or collective rather than an individual and tax process. Within these processes of self-assessments, assessments and dialogued ratings are more relevant techniques.
