It has brought together\u00a0language\u00a0teachers and subject teachers, collaborating through many forms of PBL: phenomenon, problem and project-based learning. It has brought together institutes and it has brought together institutes with regional stakeholders such as hospitals, farmers and companies.<br \/>\nWhat are these borders? They\u00a0can be barriers\u00a0between subjects, disciplines, institutional functions, institutes and an institute&#8217;s region. CLIL is a\u00a0bridge\u00a0allowing subjects to be taught beyond the school lingua franca; allowing the learning of a subject with a new language and sometimes using the lingua franca as scaffolding. Finally, it gives students the competences needed for their work after graduation; making them more employable and relevant to the needs of the region.<\/p>\n<p>Who teaches CLIL? Any\u00a0subject teacher who is competent in another language e.g. English, Portuguese, Spanish, French etc. As a CLIL teacher you may not need an English teacher in the CLIL classroom. However language teachers who have a strong basic knowledge of your subject would be ideal in first year training or orientation of that subject and would be important in the support of the subject teacher further on in the curriculum. You can find examples of CLIL lessons below.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-217 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.hamk.fi\/global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/03\/Brian-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.hamk.fi\/global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/03\/Brian-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.hamk.fi\/global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/03\/Brian-3-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.hamk.fi\/global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/03\/Brian-3-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.hamk.fi\/global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/03\/Brian-3-1024x765.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The English teachers and subject teachers plan instruction together at Porto Velho Campus, 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>David Marsh is the father of CLIL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CLIL was coined in 1996 by David Marsh, an English professor working in Finland.

The main message is that you have the resources to make your institute global and make your students more employable, not an imported teacher like me unless of course we are fully committed to the regional culture of learning.

They were helping African professors to implement\u00a0their research\u00a0in a practical way. The main idea was to break down the borders between academia and the world of work.
