CLIL Course Participant July 2023

“✅If you work as a teacher of a foreign language or any other subject and still have doubts about your communication skills that are holding you back, a course at Linguaviva will surely unblock you 🤗. I am a fresh graduate of the 2 week CLIL & Communication skills teacher's training course and the course exceeded all my expectations. The tutors were very helpful especially in areas related to practice and teaching itself. They really engaged with us in an above and beyond manner.
Huge thanks must go to the whole team that created an incredibly friendly atmosphere - but especially our lead tutor and Head of School, Ian Brangan. I would certainly encourage all teachers not to be afraid to leave their comfort zone and try one of the courses on offer. Linguaviva was a great choice 💯.”

CLIL & Communication Skills

This course is aimed at current practising international teachers of English who may be teaching English through other content like, for instance , Art or Maths or Science or be teaching English as a second language in primary or secondary schools. The course aims to be highly practical and involves defining the elements of a CLIL toolkit and creating materials to teach other content through English to international students. The learning environment is communicative, and participative and multicultural. The afternoons involve trips to cultural places of interest and there are opportunities at the weekend to explore the island of Ireland through organised trips.
