How to Become a CLIL Teacher, 2 CP
2 st. do 10-12 GB 5/38 Nord
The goal of Content and Language Intergrated Learning (CLIL; Bilingualer
Sachfachunterricht) is to foster both the L2 competences as well as the subjectmatter
knowledge of the learners. This seminar will focus on the skills you will need
to become a professional CLIL teacher. There will be a special focus on developing
CLIL resources as the lack of appropriate teaching material remains one of the major
challenges for CLIL teachers. After a short revision of the main tenets of CLIL you will
analyze and practically explore various teaching resources for CLIL available from
major educational publishers in this field. This will be followed by developing your
own teaching resources and presenting and implementing them in class.
Please only sign up for this class if your second subject is non-linguistic and thus
could be taught through a foreign language (as e.g. history, arts, PE, music, science,
etc.).
Assessment/requirements: active participation, presentation or micro-teaching, term
paper.

Computer-Assisted Language Learning, 2 CP

The main concern of this seminar will be to investigate the potential of multimedia
software (both offline and online) for language learning and teaching, and to establish
criteria for innovative and motivating uses of digital media in the classroom, often
also referred to as 'e-learning'. As well as discussing some underlying theoretical
assumptions and the history of such computer-based endeavours, this class will be
run on principles such as hands-on and project-based learning. Appropriate texts and
materials will be provided.
Assessment/requirements: active participation, oral presentations, final seminar
paper.
