English Teacher Training Erasmus+ CLIL in Language Teaching

The programme

Our CLIL Teacher Training programme is designed for non-native English speakers who teach subjects through English and need a refresher course in teaching methodology. 

What is CLIL? 

CLIL means ‘content and language integrated learning’ and refers to the teaching of different school subjects through the medium of a second language. For example, students in Peru learning Business Studies, where the lesson is taught in English as opposed to Spanish, Quechua, etc. and potentially where English is not the first language of the teacher.
