CLIL METHODOLOGY

At Saint Candor School, the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodological approach began to be implemented in 2019 as a Soft CLIL (L2 Lower profiency) pilot project in primary, obtaining very positive results. Consequently, in 2021 the use of the bilingual program began based on hard CLIL ( L2 Advanced profiency), which is mainly concerned with the study of subjects such as history or natural sciences in a second language, which in our context the L2 is the English language.

Topic: The endangered species

Objective: Create a mind map about the endangered animals in Colombia.
