Talk:
Why is CLIL worth the hype?
with Dr María Luisa
Pérez Cañado
A current teaching approach which has had an exponential uptake
in Europe and across the world: CLIL (Content and Language
Integrated Learning). An overview of the linguistic, cognitive,
methodological, and socioeconomic advantages that CLIL offers
to your students. Practical examples, instruments, and projects to
address and conquer challenges. A hands-on overview of where
we stand and where we need to go in the CLIL arena, dismantling
common misconceptions, mapping out future pathways for
progression, with tried and tested recommendations on how you
can move into the CLIL space.
