Duration:

One-Week course

Our Erasmus teacher training course on CLIL & DBL offers an in-depth journey into the realms of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Design-Based Learning (DBL). This course is specifically crafted for educators who aspire to elevate their teaching methodologies and integrate these advanced concepts into their classrooms.

CLIL, a dual-focused educational approach, aims to promote both subject matter and language learning. This approach is gaining significant momentum across the globe, particularly in the context of language learning. In our course, we dissect the foundations of CLIL, exploring its principles, methodologies, and benefits. Teachers will learn how to design lessons that not only convey subject knowledge but also facilitate language acquisition, encouraging a more holistic learning experience for students.

Design-Based Learning (DBL), on the other hand, is an innovative approach to teaching that integrates design thinking and problem-solving into the learning process. This method fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration among students. Our course delves into the core principles of DBL, providing educators with the tools and strategies to implement this approach in their classrooms. From conceptualizing design challenges to guiding students through the iterative process of design, teachers will gain practical insights and skills.

Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on practical application. Educators will engage in hands-on activities, case studies, and interactive sessions, ensuring they can seamlessly incorporate CLIL and DBL strategies into their teaching repertoire. By the end of this course, teachers will not only have a thorough understanding of CLIL and DBL but also the confidence to apply these methodologies in diverse educational settings.

Additionally, the course will cover aspects of curriculum design, assessment methods, and technology integration in CLIL and DBL contexts. Participants will learn how to evaluate student progress effectively and adapt their teaching strategies to meet diverse learning needs.

In an era where teaching is evolving rapidly, our course on CLIL & DBL stands as a beacon for educators seeking to enrich their professional skills and transform their teaching practices. Join us in this journey to redefine teaching and learning, and empower your students with the skills they need for the future.
