CLIL – an Efficient Introduction to Bilingual Education

Communication has changed

Doing business has changed

Education has changed

WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH

THE DIFFERENCES IN ORDER TO MAKE

PROGRESS

English is not a matter of affinity, it is a matter of necessity!

If we tend to be a part of a global society, do business in foreign markets, cooperate

with foreign partners or continue our education and

career abroad, we definitely and desperately

need English!

What steps should we take to reach our goal?

1. Introduce CLIL (the first four grades of elementary school (7-10) )

2. Introduce Bilingual Education (elementary school- older students (11-

15))

3. Establish a continual and consistent approach introducing Bilingual Education in secondary schools (introducing projects, international cooperation (15-19))

English teachers cannot do it alone!

We have to

put vocabulary in a contextlink ideas discover the cause and present the

result achieve the desirable outcome

establish the educational system as a coherent whole with English as an ingredient ensuring the coherence

The only way to achieve the outcome is to

*strengthen the cooperation between the teachers and *establish the correlation

between the topics and subjects.

Starting with CLIL and continuing with

bilingual education

is the key to success.
