1ST CLIL SEMINAR
A NEW APPROACH TO BILINGUAL EDUCATION
We have no idea of what the world will look like in five years, let alone in 50 years... Yet we are charged with preparing our students for life in that world. Moreover, what we do know is that we live in a society that is increasingly diverse, globalized, and complex and media-saturated. Such characteristics bring about a need for students to be able to communicate, function and create change personally, socially, economically and politically on personal, local, national and international levels, in both their mother tongue and in English, our global language.
21st century skills should be learned through a curriculum, which is interdisciplinary. That is, a project-based and language-based curriculum that integrates academic subjects by utilizing life skills.
This is why we need to apply CLIL
What is CLIL?
CLIL (Content and language integrated learning) has become one of the most talked about methodologies in ELT. It involves students learning subjects such as science or geography through the medium of a foreign language.
CLIL is all about integration and about students learning through collaboration, not competition. Through CLIL, students will become apt and eager to solve critical issues and hopefully make the world a better place to live in."
We believe that authentic education addresses the “whole child”, the “whole person”, and does not limit our professional development and curriculum design to workplace readiness.
21st century skills should be learned through a curriculum, which is interdisciplinary, a curriculum that integrates, is project-based, includes and is learned by utilizing life skills.
This is why we need to use CLIL
