Abstract
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) was recognised as a teaching methodology by the European Commission in 2003. In these past years, we have witnessed how CLIL has steadily rooted its teaching principles and is slowly becoming a dominant methodology in all educational sectors sensitive to bilingual education. Research and reflective practice literature is currently abundant and CLIL is being the focus of an increasing amount of empirical studies proving the methodology’s worth. In line with this trend, this poster focuses on the EU-funded CLIL Open Online Learning project and its major outcome, Clilstore, available from clilstore.eu, a dedicated CLIL authoring tool and open access repository. This poster discusses the findings and conclusions drawn from a post teacher training course questionnaire, which lead us to believe that a) teachers are willing to adopt CLIL in their classes and to collaborate with language specialists to put this dual-focus methodology into practice, and b) Clilstore is perceived as a useful tool in order to create, publish and deliver learning materials that aid in conducting dual-focused teaching by supporting content learning as well as foreign language learning.
