Programme
Join two experienced international trainers from Holland and Italy and connect with educators from across Switzerland to explore ideas from all over Europe.
In these two days of training you will
- develop a repertoire of teaching and assessment ideas, methods and practices to be able to implement a Pluriliteracies approach, especially with students from multilingual backgrounds;
- learn how to support learners in deeper learning – the ability to transfer skills across disciplines and languages as well as support basic language and content knowledge;
- get hands-on experiences that will take you from the basics of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) to an understanding of deeper learning episodes through the Pluriliteracies models;
- come with your own ideas and leave with a whole new and enriched toolkit.
Programme
This programme is flexible and will be adjusted to participants’ needs and questions.
