European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML)
AILA cooperates with the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML), which is delighted to announce the launch of the new bilingual website “CLIL in languages other than English – Successful transitions across educational stages”, now available in English and French at www.ecml.at/CLILLOTEtransitions.
The website is an output of the ECML programme “Inspiring innovation in language education: changing contexts, evolving competences” (2020-23). It illustrates how the professional community can promote continuity and deal with discontinuities in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) from primary to secondary and tertiary education.
What you will find and who can benefit
The website provides approaches and recommendations to support CLIL in general, and especially in languages other than English (CLIL-LOTE). It examines ways of doing so across educational levels, in the language classroom and in other subjects.
The recommendations are underpinned by guiding principles for CLIL and illustrated through examples of practice from various contexts offering a holistic view on curricula, teacher education, professional collaborations, teaching materials and formative assessment.
The website is structured according to the five thematic areas of the recommendations addressing different target groups concerned:
- Curriculum – for curriculum designers and decision-makers
- Teacher education – for teacher educators and decision-makers
- Collaboration between institutions, teachers and/or students of different educational levels – for teachers and head of schools
- Teaching materials – for teachers and teaching material designers
- Portfolios and formative assessment – for teachers and teaching material designers
