21s century teacher

Work in progress



Whether you are a FL teacher or newly-to-be clil teacher we need to understand:

- until there is a proper cooperation between the two we are not in a position to talk about clil programmes

FL teachers should not feel themselves being usurped by clil teachers - on the contrary they should see all the beneficial effects this new approach could have on his/her teaching outcome

- clil has to be integrated within the FL curriculum
. CEFR are lacking of the cognitive dimension

WE need to train our students to communicate in the real world .- For years and years I have been insisting on communicative skills -

- To promote high order thinking skills  - Students need to be able to classify, how to order, how to evaluate, how to make hypothesis, how to analyse, produce reasons.  Every single thinking skills will need some specific language.

There however some training issues
The FL teacher is essential in this process of innovation ..!!

Maybe we need to go back to schools and start promoting an armonious  approach where all the subjects involved should be made feel safe and well looked after!!
