Aims and activities of the organisation: 
The Language Centre at Pavia University promotes the diffusion of foreign language learning and the knowledge of CLIL teaching methodology. In particular, in the past five years it has provided primary school teachers with CLIL training courses in collaboration with the local education department. Moreover, the Centre provides university students with audiovisual materials for self-study and coordinates language courses for all faculties at Pavia University.  Finally, drawing on its well-established tradition of L2 testing, the Centre fosters research in second language acquisition and L2-medium instruction, focussing in particular on the assessment of the outcomes of L2-medium instruction.

Role of the organisation in the project:
The Language Centre at Pavia University will collect information on CLIL programmes implemented by individual institutions in Lombardy, with particular attention to student participation and quality assurance in programme implementation and evaluation of competences. The aim of such research is to identify best practices and to analyse the impact that CLIL teaching can have on the learning outcomes of students.
