An introduction to CLIL for secondary teachers

This British Council webinar introduces CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) to French secondary teachers. Hosted by George Wilson, it features Ellen Delpont, an English inspector and CLIL certification jury member, and Dr. Jason Skeet, a CLIL expert. The session covers the British Council’s support for English teaching, the benefits of teaching subjects through English, and details on obtaining the DNL (Discipline Non Linguistique) certification. Ellen outlines the two-step process: a paper submission and an oral exam (requiring B2 English). Jason provides five top tips for CLIL teaching: planning with CLIL’s three dimensions, task-based learning, guiding input, supporting output, and identifying subject language. The speakers encourage teachers to pursue CLIL for its enriching professional and student benefits.
