ABSTRACT
David will explore the core of good CLIL practice in a highly interactive environment.
This one day workshop for each venue will start by introducing the 4C CLIL Framework. This is a tool which
has proven to be very effective in enabling subject and language teachers to even better understand how
to introduce and use CLIL methodologies in the classroom. After a brief exemplification (at both primary
and secondary levels) we will look at good CLIL techniques and practice. The main objective of the
workshop is to share and learn about CLIL techniques that work well with Italian students when working
through the medium of a foreign language. These techniques apply to CLIL in any language.
One of the most exciting new developments which will become very significant through 2010 concerns
learning and the brain. During the workshop David Marsh will introduce some insights into why good CLIL
practice appears to be bring good results with a broad range of learners, and try to link these to new
evidence of content and language learning coming from the educational neurosciences. In order to do this
in a practical and meaningful way it is best if participants come to the workshop prepared to describe, or
briefly show, one specific technique that they use in class which they consider brings positive results. These
real‐case examples will then be analysed with respect to our understanding of languages, learning and the
brain. A third element of the workshop concerns how to find good resources and materials, and how to
network internationally
This one day workshop serves to inform and inspire participants so that they try out some of the
techniques learnt over the next few weeks in their schools. Time will be available to address individual
concerns and seek to find solutions to specific school‐based problems. Then a follow‐up workshop is
planned where experiences will be shared, both good and possibly not‐so‐good, in order to accelerate our
overall professionalism in using CLIL.
