Interactive Lectures: Participants will engage in interactive lectures that provide an overview of the principles and practices of CLIL. These lectures will include discussions, group activities, and real-world examples to help participants understand the concepts being presented.
Hands-on Activities: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities that allow them to apply the concepts they have learned in the lectures. These activities might include designing and planning CLIL lessons, integrating language instruction into content-based curriculum, and adapting instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners.
Lesson Planning and Feedback: Participants will have the opportunity to develop their own CLIL lesson plans and receive feedback from the course instructor. This will help them apply the concepts they have learned in the course to their own teaching practice.
Research and Best Practices: The course will include a review of the latest research and best practices in CLIL instruction. This will help participants stay current with the latest developments in the field and ensure that they are using evidence-based practices in their teaching.
Collaboration and Discussion: The course will include opportunities for collaboration and discussion among participants. This will allow teachers to share their experiences, ask questions, and provide feedback to one another. This will also foster a sense of community among participants and provide a valuable source of support as they implement CLIL instruction in their classrooms.
Online Resources and Self-Study: Participants will also have access to online resources and self-study materials, such as videos, articles, and readings, which they can use to further their understanding of CLIL instruction.
These methodologies will allow participants to learn about the CLIL approach in a dynamic, interactive, and applied way, and to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to implement CLIL instruction in their classrooms with confidence.
Peer Learning and Collaboration: Teachers engage in collaborative activities and group discussions to share their experiences, exchange best practices, and learn from each other. This fosters a supportive learning community and encourages the sharing of diverse perspectives.
Practical Teaching Demonstrations: Teachers have the opportunity to observe and analyze practical teaching demonstrations conducted by experienced trainers. This methodology allows teachers to observe effective teaching techniques and methodologies in action.
Reflective Practice: Teachers engage in reflective exercises and discussions to critically analyze their teaching practices, identify areas for improvement, and develop action plans for implementing new approaches in their classrooms.
Experiential Learning: Teachers participate in experiential learning activities that simulate real-life teaching scenarios. These activities allow teachers to apply their knowledge and skills in a practical setting, facilitating deeper understanding and skill development.
Field Visits and Study Visits: Teachers visit educational institutions, organizations, or relevant sites to gain firsthand insights into innovative teaching practices, educational policies, and approaches to addressing social gaps, gender equality, and non-discrimination.
Action Planning and Implementation: Teachers develop action plans based on the knowledge and skills gained during the course. These plans outline how they will apply new strategies and approaches in their classrooms and educational contexts.
