  • Presentation of design principles for a digital CLIL lesson plan, including hands-on materials
  • Exploring sample materials and reflecting on content processing from a learner's perspective.
  • Introduction to authoring tools to provide scaffolded input materials.
  • Enhancing your understanding of assessment, review, and feedback methods.
  • Discovering strategies for further professional development and knowledge-sharing within your school.

By the end of this CPD program, you will be able to enhance your students' reading skills, vocabulary, and overall language proficiency.

Methodology & assessment

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.
Preparation:
Delegates are advised to bring your subject book(s) and/or related digital materials (if available) to the course to be used when creating customised materials and activities.
Assessment
At the end of the week delegates will demo, discuss and assess the teaching & learning materials that they created during the course.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

Participants will be offered a virtual learning environment (VLE)  to access the course materials, resources, task completion templates, shared task results and lists with viewing materials and (further) reading suggetions. 

After-course access to the LMS will be made available to promote follow-up communication & collaborative learning when exchanging (re)designed local practice experiences.
