In our increasingly interconnected global landscape, language acquisition is pivotal for fostering cross-cultural communication și înțelegere. Învățarea integrată a conținutului și a limbii (CLIL) stands out as a potent pedagogical approach merging language acquisition with subject-specific learning. By adeptly blending ICT și game-based tools, multimedia content creation, și dynamic experiential activities, educators can better promote linguistic diversity in education, effectively preparing students for their roles as global citizens.
A recent iteration of the “Curs de învățare integrată a conținutului și a limbii (CLIL) pentru profesori” occurred in Tenerife de la 09/06/2024 to 15/06/2024. Participating educators hailed from Germania și Finlanda, namely Emmi Laitinen, Aline Thomas, Nicole Hafner, și Claudia Pfeil.
