As with the design of a good CLIL lesson, our methodology is based on key conceptualisation, meaningful practice, and activation of learning. An effective combination of training formats (e.g. workshops, seminars, group discussion, project-based learning, field projects ‘Contexts4Content’) will allow participants explore the CLIL methodology, as well as the culture and reality of the host country. This will help participants to build learning, motivation and natural curiosity that invites communication and will create a framework for planning CLIL lessons, develop teaching materials relevant to their students’ interests and also strengthen competence in the use of English.

Participants will form part of a learning opportunity that mirrors a practical, effective, and authentic experience after which they will have a clear understanding of the CLIL methodology, be able to incorporate it into to their teaching context and create successful learning experiences for their students.

Assessment will be carried out prior to the course by means of analysis of participants’ interests. During the course, oral and written reports will be completed to enhance participants’ learning. After the course, prospective partnerships might develop from the themes raised by the programme.
