but the new reform …
CLIL in Italy – teacher’s lacks
• In the primary schools each class mainly has only one teacher (so far)
• In the Secondary schools (upper and lower levels) all the teachers teach only one subject
• So it’s very difficult to find teachers with more than one competence, or better it’s practically impossible to find teachers with “certificated capabilities” to teach more than one subject
CLIL in Italy – teacher’s lacks
• The CLIL competences are internationally tested only by TESOL, Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (as a module of TKT, Teaching Knowledge Test )
• Venice University (Ca’ Foscari) is developing a new exam to certificate CLIL capabilities for italian teachers
• Others ask to the subject teachers the minimum of FCE certification
CLIL in Italy – Ministry’s lacks
• Officially the formal curriculums don’t include CLIL modules
• Actually the upper secondary schools have the possibility to modify the 10-20% of the curricula according to the school autonomy.
• The incoming Reform introducts CLIL in the fifth grades of Liceum and ITI which foresees the teaching of a subject through a foreign language.
CLIL in Italy
• So, some CLIL activities may be developed only if a school decides to use the autonomy space and finds – one foreign language teacher that has a
particular knowledge of another subject and the corresponding subject teacher accept to work together
– one subject teacher that has a particular knowledge of foreign language and his corresponding foreign language teacher team up to work with him
CLIL in Italy
• Without fixed common rules• With/without the student consent• With/without the parental consent• With/without any formal recognition and
limited economic incentive• The co-working is accepted only for a
limited period and with a small economic contribution based only on limited school funds reserved to the autonomy actions
CLIL in I.T.I.S. Zuccante
• First experiences on 2003 with Company simulation (mother tongue tutor)
• Mainly three pairs of team teachers (Electronics & English, IT & English and Math & English) for three or more months modules in final classes
• Many CLIL courses, locally and in Ireland/England
• Now a group of about 10 teachers is involved
my actually CLIL activities
• Fourth class (17-18 years old), IT subject, two modules of about two months [about 30 hours each] on “Operating Systems” and “PC assembly”
• Fifth class (18-19 years old), IT subject, whole year [about 100 hours] on Networking
• All the modules are co-planned with the English Teachers, and with a limited co-working mother tongue [for a total of 30 hours in all the classes]
