A Training Course for Teaching in English - UV

A CLIL lesson, according to the British Council, is therefore not a language lesson neither is it a subject lesson transmitted in a foreign language. According to the 4Cs curriculum (Coyle 1999), a successful CLIL lesson should combine elements of the following:

• Content - Progression in knowledge, skills and understanding related to specific elements of a defined curriculum.
• Communication - Using language to learn whilst learning to use language
• Cognition - Developing thinking skills which link concept formation (abstract and concrete), understanding and language
• Culture - Exposure to alternative perspectives and shared understandings, which deepen awareness of otherness and self.
