CLIL methodology

Day 2.

On the second day of attending the course we were learning about:

The 4C’s Framework and its usage in CLIL methodology

• CLIL MATRIX – what is that and how can it be used to design class activities and resources

We had read and discussed a text about James Clerk Maxwell, famous Scottish scientist and talked about how we would create a CLIL class activity around it. How to examine the vocabulary on any new text while preparing it for our class.

We were introduced to two amazing web pages that are very helpful while preparing a CLIL class and introducing a new text to a group of students with different level of English language:
