Language Assistant by Clare Lavery
On the British Council website, there is an excellent resource book for native English-speaking language assistants. The manual can be downloaded (free!) in PDF format.
This manual provides clear, concise explanations of basic ELT methodology for assistants who may not have much initial training. It also gives examples of how assistants can collaborate more effectively with local teachers in the classroom. This book would be useful as a textbook-manual for newly-arrived assistants, as well as a starting point for discussion between assistants and local teachers when planning team-teaching activities for the classroom.

Here are some simple examples of basic vocabulary worksheets for CLIL. They're easy to make, with just a simple Word document template and some free educational clipart from the Internet.
Vocabulary worksheets
Fichas de vocabulario
Music: Musical instruments
Physical Education: Sports Mania
Technology: Tools for Technology
Health Science: Fruits and Vegetables
Physical Geography: Landforms
Visual Arts: Art Supplies
Natural Science: Vertebrate animals NEW
The images can be used for labelling and a variety of question/answer
activities, both oral and written. Then the items can be classified into
different categories for further questioning or pair/group-work games.
The worksheets also lend themselves to any number of classic games,
such as Bingo, Memory, Battleships (Barquitos) and What's what?
Afterwards, you can ask students to cut up the worksheets and use
individual images to make their own mini-flashcards by pasting them
onto cards, or they can paste them into their notebooks, regrouping the
pictures to make a picture dictionary.
This is just a
very simple one-page document that can
serve as a
guide for planning a
CLIL module.

For teachers in bilingual schools developing the integrated curriculum, I've added a section with links to websites about Andalucía in English. Authentic content for English-speaking tourists and residents. Great for bilingual projects and the Natural / Social Science curriculum.
