Teaching content through english

In Europe content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has been expanding as a variety of  approaches to language teaching. CLIL is believed to contribute to the linguistic and cognitive development of the learners. Our Project intends to encourage and support Lithuanian schools taking up CLIL as an innovative approach to language teaching.

The project aims to assist the Lithuanian Ministry of Education and Science in promoting CLIL in Lithuanian schools as innovative approach to language teaching. The project activities include teacher development seminars and networking events for English language and other subject teachers.
