The purpose of this paper is to give a presentation of the programme
eTwinning, the use of CLIL methodology in eTwinning projects, give a glimpse of a
successful project carried out by secondary students and present the future ahead
regarding Higher Education. eTwinning offers the suitable environment to use the
English language in a “real” context; it can be integrated in any subject due to its
cross-curricular nature. In short, it prepares the student for the real world:
international research, to get to know other cultures, to communicate and to learn
content. I will start by giving a general view of what eTwinning is about. The
second part will deal will eTwinning and CLIL. How CLIL methodology fits perfectly
in the carrying out of eTwinning projects. In the third part, and drawn from personal
experience, a project will be shown: “Addressing the Energy Crunch; Every Little
Action Helps” as a good example of how to integrate content-learning in a
collaborative project between different schools in Europe. The last part will deal
with the future of eTwinning and Higher Education, within the new programme just
approved by the European Parliament: Erasmus+ (2014-20). |
