Course Description

The CLIL Wheel is a way to conceptualise all the different components that make CLIL a success. CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning.

If you are new to the concept of CLIL, I recommend you first do the initial courses "Getting Started with CLIL" and "The CLIL Wheel: an Introduction".
