Our Vision

Content Language & Intergrated Learning

Underlying Principle of CLIL

We believe that each individual is capable of reaching goals far beyond which they themsleves believe. Educational Training is committed to bringing out in each person their real potential and worth so that they can work within their institution or company in whatever role they choose to the best of their ability and knowledge.

All teachers are teachers of language ' (Bullock Report - A language for Life, 1975).
The benefits of CLIL may be seen in terms of cultural awareness, language competence, preparation for both study and working life and increased motivation.

CLIL In the Classroom

Classroom Principles

Language is used to learn as well as communicate.
It is the subject matter that determines the language needed to be learnt.
A CLIL lesson is not a language lesson nor is it a subject lesson in another language. According to the 4C's Curriculum (Coyle 1999), a successful CLIL lesson should combine elements of the following:

CONTENT - Progression in knowledge, skills and understanding related to specific elements of a defined curriculum

COMMUNICATION - Using language to learn whilst learning to use language

COGNITION- Developing thinking skills which link concept formation (abstract and concrete), understanding and language.

CULTURE - Exposure to alternative perspectives and shared understandings, which deepen awareness of otherness and self
