The Age of Stuarts A CLIL module Pier Luigi Errani Liceo Classico Alighieri Ravenna

What is Clil Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) involves teaching a curricular subject through the medium of a language other than that normally used. The subject can be entirely unrelated to language learning, such as history lessons. Teachers working with CLIL are specialists in their own discipline rather than traditional language teachers. The key issue is that the learner is gaining new knowledge about the 'non-language' subject while encountering, using and learning the foreign language. The methodologies and approaches used are often linked to the subject area with the content leading the activities.

Benefits of Clil CLIL's multi-faceted approach can offer a variety of benefits. It: builds intercultural knowledge and understanding develops intercultural communication skills improves language competence and oral communication skills develops multilingual interests and attitudes provides opportunities to study content through different perspectives allows learners more contact with the target language does not require extra teaching hours complements other subjects rather than competes with them diversifies methods and forms of classroom practice increases learners' motivation and confidence in both the language and the subject being taught

This course: methodology The lesson will be divided into four moments: introduction by the teacher multimedia presentation, such as a movie (listening) analysis of a text, such as an historical document or a contemporary text (reading) exercises or production (speaking and writing)
