a need to foster CLIL methodology

No clear preference for any particular subjects

The need for teacher training more focused on CLIL

Thanks for this amazing experience I’ve realized that using the CLIL methodology involves continuously planning process of learning. So I can say that thanks to CLIL methodology we could improve our teaching because the new way of planning CLIL actions seems to register a positive impact on the way we generally plan. Our planning could be less fragmentary and more organic than before. So, it is evident that CLIL methodology improves the teacher’s level of reflection because they have to plan, to act and to teach differently. Also, thanks to CLIL methodology, they are continuously learning and they are continuously solving problems, acquiring experiences, and they are constantly reflecting and acting. All this has contributed to render them reflective teachers.
