Over fifty participants at the CLIL workshop "Create, Motivate, Educate"
20 experts in CLIL share their good practices throughout the two day workshop.
The School of Education and Psychology and the Institute of Modern Languages held Sessions on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) on March 13th and 14th entitled "Create, Motivate, Educate", bringing together around twenty experts on foreign language linguistic immersion in the Spanish education system and welcoming around fifty attendees
The Sessions, designed to tackle the challenges and dilemmas set by these programs, promote discussion on theoretical aspects and come up with effective solutions that can be used in the classroom, brought together experts such as the Linguistics expert Rachel Whittaker (Autonomous University of Madrid); Hania Babarouska (University of Warsaw); Raúl Azpilicueta (UNED); and Ruth Breeze (Institute of Modern Languages), among others.
Although many topics were considered to be cross-discipline, the focus was mainly on Primary Education in the first session on the 13th and Secondary Education in the second session on the 14th,

The CLIL methodology, based on teaching content in a second language, has been taking an increasingly central role and, despite introducing CLIL programs at almost all educational levels, from pre-school to university, practical implementation of these programs is still raising challenges and dilemmas. Consequently, the Sessions sought to debate the future of education in a foreign language and its possible applications in the context of Navarra and Spain.
