This self-paced online course is designed to help primary school teachers and/or language teachers plan effective and engaging CLIL lessons that strengthen their students’ foreign language skills by teaching curricular topics in the second language.
CLIL stands for Content Language Integrated Learning, a methodology with a twofold goal and focus: teaching a curricular subject in a foreign language by immersing the learner in the target language, thereby simultaneously teaching the topic and the L2 language through context. The method has gained ground throughout Europe and is a driving element in the internationalization and innovation of school curricula.
Through theory and practical tasks, you will learn how to choose CLIL topics suitable for primary school children of different ages, how to adapt existing content for your CLIL classes, how to integrate the four basic skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) into your lessons and how to plan activities that impart knowledge in the chosen subject while instilling a positive mindset towards second language acquisition.
