The 28th of february of 2019, we organised two CLIL courses: ASSESSMENT IN CLIL PRIMARY and ASSESSMENT IN CLIL SECONDARY with Anna Otto and Tom Morton as teachers. they are highly appreciated courses taught by some of the most prestigious teacher trainers on CLIL all around Spain.

60 teachers took part in it and they learnt about CLIL methodology and the principles of assessment, evaluation and testing of students.

As we are part of an Erasmus + KA 201 project about CLIL, we took the chance to explain its goals and aims to them.

The project is called ELAPSE: Embedding Languages Across Primary and Secondary Education.

This project  takes into account the needs expressed by the Council of the European Union that  'teacher education programmes should be of high quality, evidence-based and relevant to needs'.

The partnes of the project are:

1. LFEE as project coordinator

2. Centro de Formación del Profesorado en Idiomas de Castilla y León.

3. Academie de Montpellier

4. Pagogische Hochschule Wien

5. Association for Language Learning

6. Centro Autonómico de Formación e Innovación de Galicia.

ELAPSE  aims to develop primary and secondary language teachers' awareness of CLIL and soft CLIL methodology transnationally, build teachers' confidence and expertise to adopt a cross-curricular approach to the planning and delivery of language lessons. The focus will be on the upper primary phase and on bridging resources which can be used as pupils transition between the primary and secondary phases. Practical resources and a good practice guide will also make the project sustainable across the European Union.

The focus of this project is to enable teachers to draw upon the collective expertise of all partners, to use soft CLIL and CLIL resources to deliver foreign language learning across the curriculum. 

Now we are in the process of designing a CLIL NOOC course and a CLIL MOOC course of reference in Europe. the other outputs refer to the creation of education materials on CLIL and the selection of the best practices on the integration of languages in european classrooms.

We will keep you informed about the evolution and products of the project.
