Webinar: Building Confidence with CLIL – Empowering Student Engagement and Meaningful Target Language Use

Join this FREE webinar to:

• explore how Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) informed approaches support meaningful learning through the target language in real classroom contexts, with attention to both student learning and classroom practice
• understand the relationship between content, language, and cognition and how students use the target language to think, interact, and make sense of ideas in authentic learning environments
• consider how these approaches can be introduced in practical and manageable ways, including strategies to scaffold comprehension and support language output
• identify how student engagement emerges naturally in the language classroom as a result of this learning design

Classroom examples from Chinese language settings will illustrate how students can use the target language purposefully and effectively, even at early stages of learning.

Participants will be provided with resources that enable classroom application.

Wednesday 29 April, 3:45 – 4:45

Facilitators: Yin Zhang & Kylie Farmer

Audience: Teachers of Languages

Yin Zhang leads the Enhanced Chinese Program at Richmond High School in Melbourne and has been teaching using the CLIL approach since 2014. She has developed and taught a CLIL Science program in an Australian high school. Yin is currently teaching CLIL through subjects such as Food and Nutrition and Chinese culture and arts, using Chinese as the medium of learning. Her work focuses on designing learning experiences that enable students to use the target language to learn concepts.

In recent years, Yin has focused on supporting the development of CLIL in the Chinese language sector. She has led and delivered a wide range of professional learning initiatives, including school-based programs and online or conference workshops, alongside ongoing mentoring and coaching for individual teachers and teams across upper primary and secondary contexts.

Through her work with the Intensive Chinese Network (ICN), she collaborates closely with teachers from diverse school settings across Australia, including bilingual and CLIL schools. She is passionate about supporting teachers to take practical steps into CLIL practice.
