CLIL Pedagogy. Textual Heterogeneity in CLIL Texts

Abstract

A good teacher will always be open to new methods and from my perspective undestanding culturally and integrating a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) pedagogy will defintitely develop learners’intercultural undestanding.

It is needed to contribute to the wider discussion on the importance of developing learners’ intercultural understanding and on how this could be achieved within the language learning paradigm.

Teaching makes us realize that our educational system is still constrained by the curriculum and based on my personal experience as a language teacher I have got to the conclusion that we have had lots of materials that could serve the purpose of intercultural teaching and learning. In particular, this thought was born from a dual belief that intercultural understanding has a major role to play in understanding others, but also in enriching the language learning process for both learners and teachers.
