Courses

This course aims to equip educators with the skills to implement CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in their classrooms, allowing them to teach in a bilingual setting. CLIL enables students to engage with both the subject content and the target language simultaneously. Educators will learn to integrate various subjects with a foreign language, creating a holistic learning experience where language is used as a tool. This course, supported by digital tools and interactive strategies, focuses on enhancing classroom practices.

Course Methodology

This course adopts a hands-on, activity-based approach that encourages active participation from educators. Educators will develop lesson plans using the CLIL methodology and experience them through classroom simulations. The course will include interactive and collaborative activities with a strong emphasis on using digital tools. Theoretical lessons will be kept short, focusing on practical work and group projects.

• To enhance the skills of educators teaching in a bilingual setting using the CLIL methodology.
• To help educators learn how to integrate various subjects with a foreign language.
• To improve student engagement through digital tools and interactive methods in the classroom.
• To develop projects aligned with the Erasmus+ priorities of digital transformation and inclusive education.

By the end of this course, educators will:

• Be able to plan and implement lessons using the CLIL methodology.
• Develop strategies to enhance student interaction in bilingual education with digital tools.
• Create student-centered lesson plans and assessment methods for bilingual education.
• Develop innovative teaching strategies aligned with Erasmus+ projects.
