The Project
The cornerstone of the project is as follows:
- observing the impact of the various applications of CLIL methodology:
- the acquisition of general skills, disciplinary knowledge and competences,
- the acquisition in particular of creative and intercultural skills
- the development of plurilingualism and multilingualism in the professional field.
The basic idea is:
to determine whether a CLIL project confers added value on the quality of learning:
- knowledge
- disciplinary competences
- relational and socio-affective skills,
- thinking skills (how to develop and improve them)
- learning skills (do students learn better and more?)
We therefore propose to start short training sessions for teachers with a view to:
- comparing and developing ways of implementing and sharing CLIL projects and
- experiences in the schools of the participant countries,
- planning CLIL pathways (by using online resources) in some disciplines to be chosen
- from the field of science and technology and from the arts and humanities, in collaboration with the different partners involved
- designing and implementing monitoring and evaluation tools
- producing learning units through the methods of cooperative learning, using the available ICT tools
- testing in class the material produced, using the monitoring devices
- comparing and disseminating the results through the social web
This evaluation process and the outputs would be thus organized:
- Monitoring and evaluating the process and the end- results of the project through:
- The collection and systematic organization of the learning units,
- The collection and systematic organization of the assessment tests,
- The comparative analysis of the test results
- The implementation of an online data base of all the materials.
- Research starting from the analysis of the needs:
- Validation of a teaching-learning method (CLIL),
- Ratio expected results/achievements.
