The course combines short introductions in the form of brief plenaries on various methodological topics and related CLIL / LSP activities followed by presentations of ICT applications and multimedia that can facilitate & enhance them in and out of the classroom.
The subsequent practical work is done individually or in small groups depending on the needs and educational levels.

To address the anticipated variety in participants’ interests and needs (in terms of tools, pedagogical approach, target groups and individual technology skills level) most tasks are designed in such a way that they can lead to differentiated relevant learning experiences and outcomes.
