PROGRAMME AND RATIONALE
AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME
- Give participants a practical context in which they can apply the methodology from week one CLIL course by being able to observe best practice in the UK State education system and compare to their own classroom environment.- Put themselves in the position of the student and acquire an appreciation of how English language and subjects can be taught outside of the classroom.- Reflection activities and mini presentations will allow the participants to:
1. Formulate a future strategy for applying their newfound knowledge in class.
2. Provide evidence that they are able to apply CLILmethodology for the benefit of their classroom through the action based lesson planning project.
MAXIMISING COMMUNICATIVE ABILITY
Before arriving, participants would be asked to complete a lan-guage and teaching needs analysis. Through this, we can assess the context in which each participant has acquired their language level and what needs, applications and improvements they need to make in this area in order to deliver training in English. This will be very important as it will give us the specific information needed to tailor the programme as each participant builds their abilities over the 2 weeks.
CULTURAL CONTEXT
Studying in London for the entire 12 weeks, will be a great source of input for all participants. With exposure to a variety of situ-ations, in practicum, including multi-lingual ESL classes where CPs (course participants) can see CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in action, and during social activities, par-ticipants will be encouraged to discuss and feedback on what they are continually experiencing.

FEEDBACK
Continuous feedback will allow participants to look back at what they have learnt and in group workshops, discuss application and effectiveness of different ideas and concepts as they develop over the course.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE INPUT
Two week in any English speaking environment will also allow participants to improve their own language ability and fluency
Learning by doing is a core principle of this programme which exposes participants to a diverse range of teaching approaches and cultures.
PRACTICUM
LESSON OBSERVATIONS
Lesson observations take place at specially selected Secondary Schools. By viewing classroom activities and lesson delivery accross a range of subjects (English Language is not taught in Secondary Schools) participants can see how the methodology the will have received in week one works in practice. Through observations and using handouts, participants will be required to pay attention to particular situations and feedback and reflect on these situations during the mid-week seminars.
Upon the successful completion of both weeks of the programme, all candidates will receive two certificates:
1. Content and Langauge Integrated Learning2. Practicum Placement and Active LessonPlanning ALP 1
WEEK ONE INPUT SESSIONSDuring the first week, participants will be able to receive a methodology on a variety of CLIL areas (see example programme contents) this tailored syllabus is created using the original participan needs analysis. As well as input, participants will be prepared for the second week, and be able to observe ESL classes so that observation techniques can be practiced.

MATERIALS WORKSHOPS
Our workshops will allow participants to work on producing their own materials (assessed through the project) based on their continuing experience, as well as methodology input sessions.
FIELD TRIPSParticipants will be given specific trips to undertake in London at the weekend and in the evenings. They will need to use their visit as a central part of an educational lesson plan. Task based activities will be set to enable the participants to formulate learning activities and apply resources outside of the classroom within the curriculum context.
POST OBSERVATION SEMINARSFollowing the observations, participants will a number of seminars that allow them to reflect on what they have observed, and how the methodology they have acquired applies to this. Moreover, in afternoon sessions, they will look at how they can apply this knowledge in their own lesson planning and how they can achieve effective material production during the project stage of the course.
FINAL SESSION OF THE COURSEEach participant will be required to deliver a 10 minute presentation on what they have learnt on the course, and how they can apply it to their classroom
Partidipants should be able to identify the differences between their own situation and that of the UKs.
The presentation should also introduce the area that their lessonplan/materials development project will cover.
PRICE: The two week programme costs £3300 per participant
