CLIL and Beyond: Pluriliteracies for Deeper Learning

As a school leader, you want students to do more than memorise content. You want them to understand concepts deeply, express their thinking clearly, and succeed in multilingual learning environments. Yet linguistic barriers, limited academic language, and an overemphasis on factual recall often prevent students from reaching their full potential. This 2-day CLIL & Pluriliteracies conference gives your teachers the tools to change that. The conference offers a coherent, research-based framework that helps students learn content and language simultaneously while developing the cognitive, communicative, and reflective skills required for deep learning. Designed for primary and secondary teachers across subjects, it provides practical strategies that strengthen instruction immediately and create more inclusive, language-aware classrooms. What your school gains: stronger learning across subjects as your teachers use CLIL and the 4Cs to make content accessible to all learners; deeper conceptual understanding through Pluriliteracies, enabling students to connect ideas and transfer knowledge; higher-quality academic communication, with clearer explanations, arguments, and disciplinary texts; more inclusive, student-centred classrooms that support hesitant and multilingual learners; and a shared pedagogical language that improves coherence and curriculum alignment across departments. Your teachers also learn how to make thinking and metacognition visible, fostering confident, reflective learners.
