At the same time, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has established itself as a leading method to teach students in bilingual classrooms. CLIL focuses on areas such as cooperation, interactivity, engagement and multimodal inputs. It is precisely in these areas that iPads can become natural additions to classroom teaching and student learning. Click on the picture for an example:

 

 

The CLIL + iPads training or workshop focuses on the characteristics which CLIL and the use of iPads have in common: cooperation, interactivity, engagement and multimodal inputs. I can personalize the workshop to  match the specific needs and wishes of your school and staff. Topics can include, but are not limited to, the following:

• How iPad apps can be turned into collaborative CLIL activities;
• How iPads can provide an authentic purpose for reading, writing, speaking, listening,
• being creative, sharing, discovering… etc.;
• A short review of the basic premises of CLIL and how to apply them effectively in the iPad classroom;
• How to create interactive glossaries that help with pronunciation;
• Suggestions for combining iPads with CLIL / EIO assignments;
• Suggestions for enhancing portfolio assignments and class-excursion reports;

The workshop itself will be hands-on and filled with CLIL and iPad activities. Teachers will get ready-to-use ideas for implementation and learn how to use many different apps in a CLIL way. They will also cooperate with each other in creating classroom and cross-curricular lessons.

 

If you would  like to learn how to integrate the use of iPads into your CLIL lessons and get some inspiration and ready-to-use ideas for implementation, this workshop will be the choice for you or your school!
