European CLIL Resource Centre for Web2.0 Education: Early-to-Long life

It focuses on language learning, learning strategies, multilingualism and multiculturalism. The project is being completed over 3 years and includes partners with a wide-experience of how to create CLIL content and the issues around CLIL.

There is an urgent need for specific materials, resources and guidelines for implementation which guarantee excellence in language learning. The mission of E-CLIL is to improve the quality of language teaching through the use of CLIL to drive the need for Europeans to speak their mother tongue plus two foreign languages.

The project process

The CLIL Centre has a three objectives:

• It will provide support to current and future CLIL education programmes all over Europe
• It will disseminate high quality and already proven materials and resources for content and language learning
• It will enrich teachers’ and children’s knowledge of other European cultures.

The project will build interactive activities, tasks and games, within a storyline, for the use of CLIL teachers. These will be translated in to the project languages.

The project will also build links and include resources to other evaluated CLIL resources across Europe.

There will be opportunities for educators around Europe to engage with the project through social network groups, by providing CLIL resources for evaluation and by using the resources produced by the project.
