Course summary This course is aimed at non-native language teachers or teachers of other subjects, working in primary schools, who have just started using CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) or intend to implement this approach in their classroom. CLIL is used in schools to teach subjects such as general science, art and maths, using a foreign language. Whether it is the language teacher teaching another subject in a foreign language or the subject teacher using a foreign language to teach content, the outcome will be the integrated learning of both content and language. This course will help primary school teachers build their confidence to use English in their classroom as well as provide them with the basic principles of CLIL methodology and practical ideas that can be applied to their CLIL lessons. Course requirements Teachers will normally have a level of spoken English equivalent to A2 or higher (Pre-Intermediate or higher). Applicant must be a primary school teacher.

Further details Preparation Each applicant will be asked to complete an enrolment form before the course starts. This will enable us to assess to the participants’ needs. Each applicant is required to bring to class some materials related to the subject they would like to teach in English e.g. texts on a specific topic, related pictures and online materials, etc. Preferably the texts should be already in English. This material will be used to create CLIL materials.

Title Conflict Management, Emotional Intelligence and Bullying Prevention

Course location - Florence

- Barcelona

Course Code CLA.1.CON

Objectives

This course has been created for teachers who want to understand group dynamics and how they affect the

classroom. Tensions, alliances and relationship struggles among students can interfere with learning and

create an unfavorable school environment. Participants will learn about the various types of conflict and how

to use them as an opportunity for growth. Through hands-on, practical activities which can be immediately

applied to the classroom, participants will improve their own ability to model and encourage active listening,

empathy and emotional literacy among today's students - and tomorrow's active citizens.

By the end of the course, participants will enjoy a greater awareness of their students' emotional needs and

behavior and will have the skills to promote stronger classroom relationships and a more positive climate in

school – for teachers AND students.

Guided city tours and a one-day excursion (usually on Saturday) will also be part of the programme.
