For this reason, our school has created a team of 3 teachers (who have a high level of English and training in CLIL methodology) to develop our education project during the year 2015-16, included in our strategic plan. The Language project wants to give the opportunity to our students to study non-linguistic subjects in English language in order to improve language, personal, social, technological and science skills. English Teachers have been supporting teachers’ participation in the programme and the head department have participated in the mobilities.
