Meeting Description: 

Are we ready for CLIL?
A session of the Sixth Symposium on CLIL in the Adige Valley “From
International to Local” 
 
Professor Federica Ricci Garotti (University of Trento, Italy)

The Piano Trentino Trilingue was officially introduced in Trentino in 2014,
which meant, among other initiatives, also a massive increase in subject
teaching in English and in German throughout Trentino schools, from primary to
secondary levels. This significant change to the traditional school curriculum
has brought to light both the advantages and disadvantages of CLIL at the
didactic level.

Most of the challenges associated with CLIL in the transformation of education
in the province of Trentino have not been exclusively related to the
linguistic competences of learners, but rather to the wider
didactic-pedagogical guidelines provided to teachers for its implementation.
In fact, learners, teachers and families are generally very interested in the
development of multilingual competences, but the didactic innovation necessary
for CLIL often arouse skepticism, if not outright rejection.
In this paper, I wish to focus on how the implementation of the Trentino CLIL
policy has shed light on some aspects of the international scientific CLIL
debate. Thanks to the analysis of five case studies at the local secondary
school I will try to answer to following questions: 
Which are the most difficult aspects that CLIL teachers must deal with in the
classes? Which disciplinary aims can be realistically achieved by a majority
of learners if CLIL is an obligatory activity for every school? What are the
methodologic principles that can be drawn from the local CLIL experience of
the Piano Trentino Trilingue?

Professor Federica Ricci Garotti is a Professor of German Language and
Linguistics in the Department of Lettere e Filosofia at the University of
Trento. She is responsible for teacher training in humanities and is
scientific supervisor for the master program on CLIL methodology. Her research
interests lie in CLIL, language acquisition, language teaching and learning ,
and pragmatic analysis.
