This video is not a part of the course, although it is a good start for those who are thinking about starting to use CLIL. It will be useful not only for CLIL teachers but also for any educator who cares about fostering the inclusion of culture in our classrooms. You will look at the concepts of Big C culture as well as Small C culture and get some examples of different activities you can use in the classroom the very next day.
'When you start implementing CLIL in your classroom, the first three Cs are ok. Content… is clear. Communication… is obvious. Cognition… is a must! But what happens with Culture? When asked about this, some teachers claim that their subjects cannot deal with this;
others state that they do it, but in an implicit way; and a third group keeps on wondering: Culture, which culture?' Watch the webinar or read more here.
