Rethink Language Learning: CLIL for deeper understanding in Primary and/or Secondary education

As a school leader, you want students to understand concepts deeply and express their learning with clarity. Yet many students grasp ideas without being able to explain them in academic language. This limits assessment results, weakens confidence, and hides true understanding. This course gives your teachers practical strategies to make language a learning support. Designed for both language and subject teachers, it shows how to plan lessons around students’ language needs so academic concepts become clearer, more explicit, and easier to transfer. FOR YOUR SCHOOL, THE IMPACT IS IMMEDIATE. Teachers gain shared tools and a common approach, strengthening coherence across departments. Students learn to organise their thinking, communicate ideas more clearly, and write with discipline-specific accuracy. This improves assessment performance and supports multilingual and diverse learners more effectively. BY INVESTING IN THIS COURSE, YOU ALSO REINFORCE INCLUSION. Teachers learn to scaffold complex texts, make thinking visible, and guide students in producing disciplinary genres such as explanations, arguments, and commentaries. This aligns teaching practices and supports whole-school improvement goals. Your teachers will learn to: – Help students think and speak like subject experts – Use varied communication modes to show understanding – Guide academic writing across genres – Identify key language features in each discipline – Make thinking and metacognition visible – Scaffold texts for different levels – Support conceptual learning and transfer Audience: Both language teachers and subject teachers in primary and secondary education Duration: 1 full day or 2 half-days Date: Upon request Certificate: Certificate of Mastery
