Well, yes, but … in meiner Schule scheint die Begeisterung für CLIL etwas eingeschlafen zu sein. Sollten wir vielleicht „einen Neustart hinlegen“?
Ja, klar, neues Jahr und gute Vorsätze, die besten Voraussetzungen also für einen Refresh. Der CEBS 3-Stufen-Plan kann bei der Umsetzung der guten Vorsätze helfen. Neugierig? Stay tuned, wenn auch ihre/deine Schule an einem CLIL Relaunch überlegt … wahrscheinlich nicht von heute auf morgen, aber mit etwas Plan und Struktur sollte das gelingen, und auch 2024 wieder zu einem guten CLIL-Jahr machen.
Oder anders gefragt: What, if CLIL is not one of your school´s top priorities anymore?
Patrick de Boer dealt with this question in the context of Dutch bilingual education about a year ago. His experience then:
Every school has a change of management every now and then and that is totally fine. … But if the new management is not as pro-bilingual education as you would like, you as a coordinator might end up having to ‘fight’ for everything related to bilingual education.
What would it be like if the school actually puts bilingual education as a priority again? Or at least in the top 3 of things that are important to the school?
I for one think that it would increase the motivation of teachers that struggle with teaching CLIL. But it could also help if more experienced teachers can share their experiences and help out fellow CLIL teachers.
