- Learning outcomes
- The course helps students to prepare for teaching at a bilingual primary school by providing the the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct Visual Arts and Music classes in English. During the course students familiarise themselves with the teaching methodology necessary for CLIL learning and practise the use of teaching materials and techniques through micro teaching in the classroom. They will learn the basic terminology and will improve their general language competence. They continue developing their own professional theories by understanding the aims of Art education, and by reflecting on the observed activities.
