The 'information shape' of discourse has a major impact on its comprehensibility. And, the difficulty of the content—its semantic load—strongly influences how easily the syntax can be understood. This talk will look at the details about how texts can be simplified, beyond simple lexical analysis. CLIL and EAP content CAN be introduced and used very effectively with low level learners. This talk will discuss how, giving examples of appropriate texts and activities.
