About this Course
In a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) lesson, students learn about other subjects in English. Students find them more interesting than traditional language lessons and enable them to link English to the wider world. Lessons like these are possible even for young students with limited English skills. In this course, you’ll experience classroom tested CLIL lessons that were developed in the presenter's language school, BIG BOW English Lab in Nagoya, Japan and learn how to create your own. You'll also learn how to plan CLIL based museum or field trips for your students.
