As teachers of vocational English and\nCLIL-coaches-to-be, we spent a week training at Hilderstone to develop our\nconfidence in both areas. The first lesson? As our tutor Dominic puts it: when\napplying CLIL, you are basically \u2018just\u2019 teaching. And so we enjoyed learning new\ntips and tricks for doing exactly that. We also spent our mornings learning\nmore about idioms, current euphemisms, CLIL methodology and British culture and\nour evenings studying the bedtime reads we would receive after class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the course enabled us to develop a policy\non the use of English within the bilingual stream at our school, the\nInternational Hotel & Management School in The Hague, The Netherlands. We\nalso prepared a programme for coaching our colleagues on CLIL methodology. With\nDominic\u2019s help, we came up with a concept and set of tools, which will be\ninspirational and very hands-on when we put them into practice from September. We\nlook forward to organizing our \u2018CLIL-caf\u00e9s\u2019 as we have decided to call them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, the course was very intensive, and very\nproductive. In the afternoons, we enjoyed visiting the quaint, friendly,\npicture-postcard seaside resort of Broadstairs, which provided us with the\nopportunity to relax and observe elements of British culture, such as having a\ndrink at one of several so-called micropubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping It Short and Sweet (KISS): we came, we saw, and we learnt heaps of \u2018nice stuff\u2019 (sorry Dominic). Thanks to this tailor-made Hilderstone teacher course, we are now confident and excited about starting our CLIL coaching career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
