Module 4 - Applying the CLIL methodology in primary school Arts and Music teaching

Table of Contents

Introduction

This module explores the practical applications and the added value of CLIL over traditional practices and how to integrate CLIL in the school curricula with a special focus on ARTS and MUSIC. Through CLIL children can learn two or more subjects at once because learning can take place if interdisciplinary knowledge, understanding and skills are pre-learned (see module 1). Furthermore, there are specific learning strategies that support CLIL learning in primary education such as active, experimental, digital and cooperative learning, as well as learning through discovery and task-based learning (see module 2). Once the teacher has defined the topic to explore and which skills are going to be developed, tasks must be chosen, and the choice of materials depends on the activities to be implemented (see module 3). In order to use adequate and authentic content for their lessons, teachers can find Open Educational Resources (OER), available online resources that can be adapted to the purposes of their lessons.
