COURSE OUTLINE
CLIL in Practice aims to develop teachers’ knowledge of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), showing how this method can be used to introduce new languages through specific course content. This practical course will be useful to any teacher who faces the challenge of teaching their subject in a language which is not their students’ mother tongue. The course will show how to plan and implement activities based on the key language skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Participants will be introduced to a range of CLIL resources and aids and learn how to develop attractive material that can be adapted to their subject teaching. This course also offers an opportunity to learn about Irish culture in shared culture workshops, which showcase the practice of content and language integrated learning for English language learners.
