Integrated Learning (CLIL). The learning methods combine individual study with collaborative work. Students are required to carry out individual reading and research work and to develop a critical reflection on course materials. Collaborative work conducted in discussion forums, in which students are expected to participate by present the conclusions of their reflection on the course material, debating specific questions or topics, and presenting and discussing their own course work and that developed by their classmates.
Método de avaliação
Assessment is continuous, and based on the quality and pertinence of forum discussions and on the works (individual and group) presented for discussion and evaluation.
Conteúdo
This seminar explores the key theories which underpin practice and approaches to the practice of EFL. It considers current communicative approaches and alternative approaches and methods and how these influence practical approaches to teaching the four skills, grammar and vocabulary. In addition current
trends and issues, and how these may impact classroom practice are explored, in particular the theoretical concept of ´interculturality´, implementation principles and key concepts. Moreover, it explores the influential factors which have given rise to CLIL and broadened its variety and scope across
educational contexts. It examines the unique features of this educational approach paying particular attention to methodology and the fusion of language and content subject knowledge bases. The seminar guides students towards an understanding of the requirements for implementing CLIL and the competences of teachers involved.
