Content & language integrated learning

Brief description

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is a course designed to provide linguistic and practical support to primary and secondary school subject teachers in the CLIL classroom.

The main aim of the course is to teach participants how to plan diverse and dynamic classes that cater to their students’ needs, regardless of age, level or subject matter involved.

During this 5-day course (20 hours), participants will explore three different CLIL approaches: Task-Based Learning (TBL), Lexical Approach, and Receptive and Productive Skills. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to develop practical skills in classroom management, use of multimedia resources, and creation of an electronic portfolio.

By the end of the course, attendees will have acquired the knowledge, skills, and confidence to implement the CLIL approach in their curriculum and school environment.

Moreover, course participants will take away ready-to-use ideas, strategies, materials, and lesson plans that effectively incorporate the CLIL approach into their classes.
