CLIL Approach and Co-Teaching: A Proposal to Promote Critical Thinking

Moving from Europe the CLIL approach has expanded its relevance in the teaching and learning of content and language to Latin America. Hence, the study of the CLIL related methods is paramount for schools implementing this approach. Thereby, the purpose of this book is to show the design of a training program for in-service teachers of primary education that fosters collaborative teaching and the development of critical thinking. In order to accomplish the purpose of the book, a thorough revision of CLIL, collaborative teaching, and critical thinking is shown. Likewise, co-teaching, Project-Based Learning, and Task-Based learning are theoretically reviewed. Furthermore, the 4 Cs framework serves as a base to design the previously mentioned training program. This training program is student-centered and it involves active learning, in which, participants learn about the CLIL methodological and conceptual aspects introduced in the literature review.
