OBSERVATIONS

Methodological Issues: Can occur on small-scale through the teaching/learning of part of a specific subject

CLIL-linked Activities: Particularly suitable for trans-national ICT projects, student mobility (virtual and/or physical), and exchange (teachers or students)

Learner Issues: Particularly common in activating interest, and developing motivation & self-confidence

For example, in a module which examines the same topic in a contrastive way using materials from different language perspectives
