Content Language Integrated Learning course in Cork
CLIL

Introduction:

Content and language integrated learning, or CLIL, is based on the teaching of subjects through the medium of a second language. This characteristic implies the development of specific strategies to achieve the goals intended. The mixture of learning both a second language and the contents of the subjects can undergo a series of problems and difficulties if every aspect of the learning process is not perfectly designed, structured and studied.

Main goals of the course

During a CLIL course we focused only in the content, try to reduce the teacher talking time, increasing the peer learning focus in the different kinds of types of learning, making corrections only empathising the right way and improving pronunciation. Checking instructions of every task asking to repeat what we are going to do”What is the next task?”The mistakes and errors are our friends to improve our confidence and fluency. Praising is absolutely perfect technique to engage and motivate the learning process.
