CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has emerged since the millennium as a major trend in education. Written by Do Coyle, Philip Hood and David Marsh and drawing on their experience of CLIL in secondary schools, primary schools and English language schools across Europe, this book gives a comprehensive overview of CLIL. It summarises the theory which underpins the teaching of a content subject through another language and discusses its practical application, outlining the key directions for the development of research and practice. This book acknowledges the uncertainty many teachers feel about CLIL, because of the requirement for both language and subject knowledge, while providing theoretical and practical routes towards successful practice for all.

New great CLIL conference in Barcelona:

Les Jornades sobre la metodologia AICLE-CLIL volen presentar la situació actual de la pràctica docent, formació de lprofessorat i recerca en l’aprenentatge integrat de continguts i llengua estrangera al nostre país, així com fomentar la col·laboració entre el professorat de matèries no lingüístiques i el de llengua estrangera.

També pretenen animar tots aquells professors i professores que compleixin els requisits a impartir la seva matèria en llengua estrangera.

Aquest tema es tractarà a través de dues conferències i una taula rodona, que ens permetran contrastar el que estem fent al nostre país amb el que s’està fent en països del nostre voltant. També comptarem amb un ampli ventall de tallers pràctics presentats per professors i professores de diferents matèries que ja han incorporat aquesta metodologia en les seves aules.

Coordinació: Rosa Pérez Bohigas i Imma Ros
