Course

dsfsd

This course provides a valuable opportunity to refresh English language skills through the medium of culture based lessons. Participants will also gain confidence from using their English skills to take part in international group classes. The course also helps to build inter-cultural awareness by encouraging participants to compare their own country’s’ culture and traditions with those of Ireland.
CLIL for Primary Teachers aims to introduce Primary Teachers to the principles of teaching English in a natural environment where the focus is not on language structure or grammar but on language use in different real-life contexts. This course will show teachers of primary students how to adapt CLIL methodology to their everyday teaching of different subjects. It will focus on practical activities which show how to blend content-driven lessons with language learning. The course helps participants to have the confidence to implement the principles of CLIL into their teaching practice, while sharing experiences with fellow primary teachers.

25-hour course runs for 5 days, consisting of seminars, workshops and cultural activity hours.

The course objectives:

• To provide an overview of the principles of CLIL teaching and your role in it as a teacher.
• To address the difficulties of implementing CLIL in your given teaching context.
