CLIL WORKSHOP

We carried out a CLIL (Content, Language, Integrated Learning) workshop for all our partners that were interested in learning this methodology in our Secundary School.

The workshop was celebrated in the first week of september.

In the first part we introduced the theorical characteristics of CLIL. Later, we explained a CLIL lesson elaborated for us. After this, we worked speaking activities in teams. Finally, we  worked on the most important online pages for getting CLIL resources on Internet.

MATERIAL PREPARED FOR THIS WORKSHOP

INTRODUCTION TO THE CLIL METHODOLOGY

We summarised the most important theorical ideas treated in the CLIL course and we prepared this presentation in order to explain the methodology to our colleagues.
