course Overview
The CLIL Plus course – CLIL for Visual Art Teachers – offers secondary level CLIL Art teachers the opportunity to come together with other teachers of their subject, to look at ideas and activities for developing CLIL art projects.
The course uses English-language materials from the Irish Post Primary Curriculum in Visual Art (Junior Cycle [12 to 15 years old]. This course will focus on the language demands of Visual Art, across the three integrated strands of the curriculum – Art, Craft and Design.
We will look at the specific key terms of the subject along with the cross-curricular, general academic language required by learners to engage with curriculum materials, develop their knowledge, skills and competences, and demonstrate their learning, through English.
The course supports art teachers to work with their students through English, to develop projects in drawing, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional art, craft and design.
The aim of this course is to help Art teachers to:
-
- identify and analyse the language demands of their curriculum.
- adapt target language materials for use with students.
- design CLIL art activities to support students in their CLIL learning.
- plan and deliver CLIL art lessons with confidence.

Course content
The course introduces teachers to the Junior Cycle of the Irish Secondary Curriculum for Visual Art.
It explores the three strands of the core curriculum:
- Drawing
- Two-dimensional art, craft and design (painting, print-making, photography, graphic design and display)
- Three-dimensional art, craft and design (additive, subtractive, and constructional processes)
Teachers will look at the syllabus aims and assessment objectives for Visual Art. They will focus on the language demands of the subject, looking at key terminology from the Visual Art curriculum, along with the general academic language required to support learners in their evaluation, critical appraisal and appreciation of art.
The course will look at ways teachers can support their students through a selection of art projects, using English as the language of instruction.
READ MORE ABOUT CLIL PLUS FOR ART TEACHERS Teachers will choose an art project to plan and develop through English (from process to realisation), based on the aims and objectives of the art syllabus. Teachers will be supported in this to ensure a good integration of content and language in the project design and delivery. We will also present teachers with support strategies for helping students to speak and write about their work, and the work of others, effectively through English. On the course teachers will also consider the question of assessment in CLIL, and look at ways of developing CLIL-based continuous or formative assessment. Course Modules: Teaching Style The CLIL for Visual Art Teachers 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. Teachers should finish the course with a portfolio of materials that can be used in their teaching context. ATC’s CLIL for Visual Art Teachers course can be combined with another Teacher Training & Development course, or a General English course, to form a 2-week programme. Please contact us for details.
