Teacher training to the use of CLIL methodology in problem based activities

This paper presents and discusses a model of teacher training to the use of CLIL methodology in problem based activities involving different subjects. The model was developed by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Turin and tested during two CLIL training courses with secondary school teachers. The training model includes: the design of the training program, the proper training phase, monitoring teachers’ activities and collection of materials, and an evaluation of the course. In particular, the training phase involves problem solving, problem posing and the use of a Virtual Learning Environment both as a student and as a teacher.
