Innovation in Language Learning

During school year 2015-2016 I coordinated a school network of primary and low secondary level to promote and foster the use of CLIL approach as a tool to improve the quality of learning and teaching foreign language, in particular English in Italian schools. Students involved were students attending the last classes of primary and low secondary school. The theme was common and embraced History and Education to Citizenship.  The use of ICT and specific software to build up interactive lessons on a predetermined path involving an interdisciplinary approach has proven to be successful in terms of involvement and  improvement in acquisition of language oral and written skills in students,of increasing collaboration among  teachers.

Moreover it enlargened and improved the range of vocabulary in young students and in particular they realized the importance of learning a foreign language as a tool to communicate and to do things.They acquired digital skills in connection with language and disciplinary skils .I will give some examples of eClil units and works and how we built them   and I will show the level of cooperation and interactivity in this way of teaching and working together with both teachers and students.
