DOWNLOAD COURSE DESCRIPTION

• English is not only the subject of learning but also the medium through which other subjects can be explored.
• Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an approach that can take many forms from incidental CLIL content in English classes as well as subject classes to multi-year bilingual teaching programmes.
• CLIL has been proven effective in increasing competence both in the foreign language and the target subject.
• You will explore how CLIL classes or CLIL programmes can be planned, implemented and managed.
• You will learn and try out different lesson formats and classroom techniques for teaching CLIL.
• You will practice planning CLIL lessons and creating your own materials.
• Project work is an important tool in successful CLIL classes.

English is not only the subject of learning, but also the medium through which other subjects can be explored, and a tool for discovering the world. This course will highlight how CLIL approaches can enhance and expand students’ learning experience. Participants will find out about the different forms of CLIL to help them choose the approach that works best in their particular contexts, and evaluate the potential challenges and benefits. Participants will have an opportunity to apply a typical CLIL lesson framework to planning their own language classes, and gain first-hand experience in CLIL activities and techniques by completing related training tasks. By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply CLIL methods to their own teaching practices.
