Teaching English: COMMUNICATION, CREATIVITY,  CLIL AND AI

Lake Constance in southern Germany is one of the largest lakes in Central Europe. Crossing the borders of three countries, it boasts clear waters, charming lakeside towns and historic landmarks. 
As a holiday area, the Lake Constance region offers a unique blend of natural beauty, historic charm and cultural experiences.
Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities on its clear waters, explore medieval landmarks such as Meersburg Castle and the city of Konstanz and indulge in the regional cuisine paired with local wines.
TEACHING ENGLISH: COMMUNICATION, CREATIVITY, CLIL AND AI
May 24 - 28, 2027    (Monday to Friday)

​The course has two main strands:
1 Helping teachers to feel more confident in English by developing their own communicative fluency and accuracy in the use of English. This will be achieved through the participation in various task-based interactive activities, followed up by feedback and language upgrading. Post-activity tasks will often include reflection on the activities and techniques experienced in this strand, and their applicability to participants’ own classrooms (Strand 2)
2 Exploring some of the techniques and activity-types that can be used in participants’ own classrooms, including a focus on using English for CLIL and another on some classroom activities supported by Artificial intelligence.4
