CLIL benefits in our context
Coordination between subject and language
teachers is increasing
Teachers are sharing what they are doing
with other teachers
CLIL is helping reduce the gap between
school and society (through Web 2.0 tools
and the use of authentic materials)
BILBAO STUDY VISIT

CLIL benefits in our context
Students’ motivation is increasing mainly due to
the following reasons:
- Learner styles are being taken into account
- Authenticity is the basis of a CLIL classroom
- CLIL fosters active learning and cooperation
Learner is becoming the protagonist of the
learning process and teacher’s role is changing

language you speak.
If you know only one
