COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The CLIL course is designed for all teachers involved in the teaching and learning of English through the use of the target language to teach other subjects across the curriculum/bilingual education. It combines practical methodology with opportunities to develop your fluency and understanding of the English language.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
This very practical course will:
- Raise awareness of the key principles of CLIL
- Practice materials development and evaluation
- Discuss the testing and assessment of language and content
- Provide opportunities for language development for both teachers
- Present teaching ideas and practical activities for skills development
METHODOLOGY:
Input will be provided in a variety of ways (including seminars, practical workshops, trainer summaries and demonstrations) that take account of the course participants’ different learning preferences and styles. Participants will be encouraged to share their own ideas and experience, and develop networks with participants from other countries. There will be opportunities throughout the course to develop participants’ English language skills and to exploit the local context by collecting relevant authentic materials, making contact with native speakers and taking part in the school’s social and cultural programme, and outings.
PREPARATION:
A preparation pack is sent to participants before the course starts. Before the start of the course, participants should complete a pre-course questionnaire which will enable the course leaders to focus specifically on the exact needs of the participants.
FOLLOW UP:
Participants will complete a study journal during their stay to reflect on the new ideas they have experienced and on how they will incorporate them into their teaching. They also develop a classroom project. Follow up support is available via an alumni email group and participants will be encouraged to report on their progress. A course VLE will be set up for participants to collaborate and share online.
