What is CLIL? ( Content and Language Integrated Learning).

• This means studying another subject (for example, science, history, or literature) and learning a language, such as English, at the same time — integrating the two subjects. "____ refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focused aims, namely the learning of content and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language."

• Important curriculum content which is to be covered across subjects (or disciplines or learning areas), rather than being taught and learned in one particular subject. These themes can connect programme content across disciplinary boundaries; enrich the curriculum without overloading it through the introduction of additional teaching subjects; and facilitate interdisciplinary thinking and collaborative learning. Examples include human rights, gender issues, peace education, and education for sustainable development.

What are traditional methods of teaching?

Where is the boundary in making a distinction between traditional methods of teaching from those that are not traditional?

• In other words, traditional methods are teacher-focused, while modern methods are student-centered.

• The traditional method of teaching is when a teacher directs students to learn through memorization and recitation techniques thereby not developing their critical thinking problem solving and decision-making skills.

• Traditional teaching is a teacher-centered approach. methods such as narration, question-answer, discussion can be used. However, today many education systems prefer student-centered methods.

I use such methods as

• Audio-lingual method

• Project-Based Learning

• Teacher-Centered
