E-CLIL resource centre

The E-CLIL resource centre is a virtual European CLIL project with three objectives:

- It will provide support to current and future CLIL education programmes all over Europe.

- It will disseminate high quality and already proven materials and resources for content and language learning.

- It will enrich teachers’ and children’s knowledge of other European cultures.

It has been designed to link to:

- CLIL resource sites that either have more information on the use of CLIL or further links to more CLIL resources.

- Specific CLIL resources that can be used by teachers in the classroom.

Some of these resources have been further divided by language. The individual resources are categorised by subject area.
