Course content
This course was developed as an introduction to the content and language integrated approach to education.
It is designed for Primary teachers who would like to use CLIL methodology to teach school subjects through English. This is a very practical course that gives Primary teachers the opportunity to gain new teaching ideas, tips and strategies for teaching their subjects through English.
Practical ideas for classroom management, teaching strategies, lesson planning and material development will be applied to a variety of subjects across the curriculum with a focus on Sports, Maths, Science and Art through English. Teachers will be encouraged to share their own ideas and experiences, and will be given the oppportunity to collaborate on tasks to create their own resources and put the theory into practice. Finally, the course will look at assessment in CLIL and help teachers think about how they might approach formative and summative assessment of their students’ learning. Course Modules: Teaching Style The Introduction to CLIL course combines course input from ATC’s CLIL trainers with group discussion and collaborative work. Teachers are encouraged to share ideas and experiences, and are given the opportunity to collaborate on tasks in order to create their own resources and put the theory into practice. Certificated hours At the end of the course, teachers will receive an ATC Language Schools’ Certificate of Attendance for the 30 or 60 hour CLIL: Introduction to Content and Language Integrated Learning programme. Teachers who complete the Introduction to CLIL course may elect to join another programme in the future, such as the CLIL Plus Programme. This programme offers subject-specific CLIL training, delving a little deeper into the text types, and the specific language demands of individual subjects. It also provides subject teachers with the opportunity to join an international community of practice of other CLIL teachers working in their subject area. The CLIL Plus Programme offers courses in CLIL for Geography Teachers, CLIL for History Teachers, and CLIL for Art Teachers. The 1 week course can be combined with a General English course, to form a 2-week programme. Please contact us for details. For teachers applying through the Erasmus Plus scheme the OID for ATC Language Schools is E10133233.
