THROUGH A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Advantages for the teachers:
• through working together, content and language teachers can share their
individual knowledge and make it joint knowledge
• through CLIL implementation teachers are likely to have an increased
opportunity for professional development. In some countries teachers
may benefit from exchange programmes and financial increments.
Possible initial difficulties
It is advisable that teachers starting CLIL rely on adequate consultancy
which will allow for a correct evaluation of their linguistic and
methodological competences and which will guide them to use efficient
strategies along with appropriate materials.
