CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual- focused aims, namely the learning of content, and
the simultaneous learning of a foreign language.
If you are a subject teacher at either primary or secondary school level, working through the medium of English or an English language teacher bringing content into your lessons, then our CLIL courses will celainly be of benefit to you and your professional development. These courses are also suitable for teacher trainers or school inspectors.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1) Primary CLIL
- to introduce a range of possibilities within the primary curriculum
- to develop language skills in the younger learner while developing their knowledge base, including a strong focus on phonics.
2) Secondary CLIL
- to clarify and ‘demystify’ the concept of CLIL
- to focus on specific areas of language development for classroom management and instruction, whatever subject you teach
COURSE CONTENT AND METHODOLOGY
During the course, participants are exposed to a range of activity types and resources. This can include the following:
- Demonstrations of lessons using CLIL methodology
- Adapting and exploiting materials in the context of Primary CLIL
- A focus on Phonics and also the development of language teaching techniques transferable to the Primary CLIL context.
The course includes daily practical sessions on preparing CLIL micro lessons and, in the second week, delivering these micro lessons to your trainer and peers in order to put learned methodology and new ideas to practical use straight away.
AFTER THE COURSE
All participants are encouraged to maintain contact with their colleagues from the course and to establish contacts with teachers from other countries and regions to share experiences and difficulties encountered. Also, participants should work on adapting and creating materials for use in the provision of CLIL lessons.
