85-minute hands-on workshop

CLIL-cuisine - no-tech activating recipes for starting (CLIL-)teachers

Mario Lecluyze

Activating formats are crucial when teaching another subject in English. Because pupils are actively involved, the content sticks in a stronger way. Moreover, they have to use English to work and learn together. In this workshop, some no-tech activating formats can be
(re-)discovered for use in CLIL, either “soft” (just a topic in the English lessons) or “hard” (whole subject).

Why have you chosen this topic for your presentation?

CLIL is becoming more and more popular in Flanders. Activating formats are a "brain friendly" way to get pupils working together on both the content and the language.

What do you want participants to take away from your presentation?

By participating in and reflecting on a number of no-tech activating formats, linked to different subjects, I hope the participants will (re-)discover their usefulness, both for English and CLIL-lessons.
