Participants will be guided to explore the potential of extensive reading to conceive a CLIL lesson.

Books and ebooks can offer effective links to curricular subjects.

Unfortunately, I must admit that many teachers do not realize that, as with any new tool, they can become proficient enough so that it becomes the easiest thing to use it, other fears for pupils’ safety or class management.

I usually use Facebook, after the eTwinning project I gave up Twitter and Linkedin, because I felt as sucked into a parallel universe.

Thanks to Facebook I can share documents and ideas, I can plan and organize with some of my colleagues (I have just finished to talk with three of them) and I really appreciate this tool because we live in different places, we are all commuters and when we meet at school most of the work is already done.

In this video Professor Deirdre Butler discusses the various benefits of teacher collaboration including the usefulness of peer reviews, collaborating in a safe environment, and building an effective community of practice. She also highlights some of the challenges involved and the need to find opportunities for collaboration both inside and outside of school, and for collaboration to take place across subjects and themes.
