CURSO EN EL REINO UNIDO: TEACHER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR PRIMARY SCIENCE AND STEM TEACHERS IN A BILINGUAL OR CLIL CONTEXT (B_0052)
This 2-week programme is aimed at a cohort of 20 teachers to be delivered face-to-face in Edinburgh in July 2023.
The focus of Week 1 will be on cross-curricular teaching and practical STEM tasks to use in the classroom, alongside a comparison of primary education in Spain and Scotland. Practical tasks will highlight activities for use in the classroom with minimal resources and will be directly linked to the Natural Science Curriculum.
Week 2 will have a greater focus on CLIL methodology and will utilise the tasks, activities and materials provided in Week 1 to demonstrate how to support and develop learners’ English skills. Participants will consider language planning and scaffolding tasks to assist learners with their grammar, vocabulary and skills development.
