Basic Computer Proficiency required. Read more »
Basic computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have limited experience with technology. Participants will learn fundamental skills such as navigating the web, and using basic programs.
When it comes to CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), educators often find themselves fighting with a common hurdle: the intricate task of planning and securing authentic resources.
This course delves into the potential of integrating AI (artificial intelligence) tools in your school’s CLIL program, making resource acquisition and content delivery more efficient and effective.
AI can significantly enhance both educators’ and learners’ CLIL experience.
This course explores the fundamentals and practical applications of AI in the context of CLIL, both from a teacher’s perspective and from the learners. Participants will discover how to optimize their professional growth by efficiently leveraging AI for activity planning, curriculum development, and resource creation.
Furthermore, AI can facilitate the creation of rubrics and assessments, automate grading processes, foster teacher collaboration, and enable self-reflection for continuous professional development.
Participants will have access to a variety of AI tools and platforms that they can use in their own context. They will be able to provide personalized learning experiences, including interactive games, quizzes, chatbots, and feedback systems to enhance student motivation and engagement.
Additionally, the course encourages discussions on data privacy, parent communication, and ethical dilemmas associated with AI use, providing strategies to mitigate potential challenges.
By the end of the course, participants will possess the knowledge and confidence to embrace AI’s transformative role in education, proactively using its potential for the benefit of their schools and students, to make CLIL learning easier and better than ever before.
This inclusive course welcomes individuals interested in or currently engaged in CLIL teaching, regardless of their experience level. No prior knowledge of AI is necessary.
