Course programme

Preparation
All participants are required to fill in a Pre-Course questionnaire. It is very important that this is returned at the earliest opportunity as the course is pre-planned based on this. The course content is outlined and discussed on the first morning, and is then adapted as appropriate.

Objectives
Participants will confirm their understanding of CLIL through discussion and input, thereby identifying how their teaching methods will need to be adapted. The course will look at what English language the teacher will
need, how to identify key vocabulary items, how to lesson plan and creating practical tasks that can be used across a number of different class subjects. During the course participants will experience CLIL from a learners' point of view; they will also share ideas related to current CLIL methodology and create tasks with a view to receiving feedback on their effectiveness from their peers.

Description of training content
This course offers 20 hours of teaching methodology (09:00 – 13:30).
