Session Title: 

Scientific Literacy and CLIL

 

Abstract: 

Scientific literacy and CLIL session aims to provide novice CLIL practitioners a focus on implementing CLIL principles in bilingual science classes. As many countries throughout the world have been implementing CLIL to promote competitiveness of its citizens, bilingual science may be one of the most challenging subjects to be taught in English to EFL learners as science terminology and concepts may be more difficult to process in second or foreign language. This session aims to provide primary school teachers a platform to discuss how to promote scientific literacy with emphasis on how to provide support for English language learners. The sessions will be practice-oriented as opposed to a focus on theories of CLIL.

 


Target audience:

 

Primary school English teachers who are interested in teaching CLIL lessons in science

Subject teachers who are interested in teaching science in English

Researchers and professors who are conducting research in this area
