CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING – CLIL

CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING – CLIL

COURSE DURATION: 5 days

It is called Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) when a subject is taught in English to learners with a distinct primary language (such as math, science, or geography). The content of the class and an aspect of the English language are the two main points of concentration for each lesson. EMI (English as the Medium of Instruction) is a close cousin of this course, which focuses primarily on teaching the subject matter, and both techniques benefit from this course.

CLIL is widely employed in state schools and foreign contexts where students need to enhance their English while also learning the required curriculum. It’s a common practice for many English teachers to use English to teach a different subject or topic, whether it’s a grammar point or a vocabulary word.

If you’re just starting out in the field of CLIL teaching or have some experience under your belt, this course will provide you with a good foundation in the subject matter.
