CLIL Techniques & ICT
Course summary
Porto, Portugal
4-day Course
Erasmus+ KA1
CLIL has 3 main characteristics: students learn the target language through which the content is taught; it responds to the EU lifelong learning program proposal for all citizens, where multilingualism and multiculturalism are thought to promote integration, understanding and mobility among Europeans; and finally, it involves the development of social, cultural, cognitive, linguistic, academic and other learning skills, which in turn facilitate achievements in both content and language.
CLIL is designed to prepare students for the future by providing them with skills for learning and understanding independently. CLIL prepares today’s students for the professional world, empowering them to face different challenges, enhancing their independence and flexibility, and providing them with social and communicative skills to collaborate and cooperate in project teams, rather than working alone.

Notice:
The course fee for our 2022 courses has been adjusted to meet the new KA1 grant budget (Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027). Before, sending organisations received 70€/day/person for course fees. Now, the new KA1 grant provides 80€/day/person.
