CLIL in Practice: Teaching Subjects Through English

What you will be able to do
- Set a content objective and a language objective for the same lesson
- Analyse the language a topic demands, from key terms to whole texts
- Plan scaffolds that support thinking skills as well as vocabulary

- Adapt or create CLIL materials for your own subject and age group
- Assess subject understanding fairly when learners are still developing their English

Questions about this course
Should English or subject teachers take this course?
Both. The course works best when English and subject teachers from the same school take it together and plan shared units.
Does it match the Turkish national curriculum?
The approach is curriculum-neutral. Participants apply it to their own programme, whether national, international or a mix of the two.
Do I need classroom experience?
Yes. The tasks ask you to plan for, and reflect on, real classes you teach.
