Reviews
I found the course CLIL: An Introduction to Content and Language Integrated Learning to be highly relevant to any teacher who wants to understand CLIL methodology, looking to enhance their teaching skills, and improve student engagement. The course was very interesting and comprehensive. I have already implemented some of the things learnt in this course. I highly recommend it. Thank you!
In our search for the best training courses for our teachers, the Erasmus+ team contacted ATC Language Schools in Ireland for an agreement about a STEAM approach course, so that we could develop at the same time our know-how in this methodology and a strong language refreshment for our colleagues. Thanks to all the ATC staff for your good job!
