3. but the new reform …

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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.

7. 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

8. 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 fundsreserved to the autonomy actions

9. 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

10. 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]
