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

Educational Level Issues: Particularly suitable for vocational and professional education levels

Learning Issues: Can be realized to offer special courses to accommodate groups of short-term visiting students from another country

For example, in medium to high exposure for older learners, this focus may have special relevance because these learners are likely to engage in higher education studies in the target language
