The document summarizes the core principles focused on during the first week of implementing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology across different educational settings. These include a primary school, secondary school, and vocational school. The main principles are developing students' language skills and confidence, integrating content and language, building on existing knowledge through scaffolding, using cooperative and authentic activities, and focusing on multiple subjects. The document also provides examples of activities that could be done in each setting during the first week to introduce CLIL, such as name games, setting learning outcomes, and reading texts related to the content topic.

4. LANGUAGE Answer questions or instructions given in the CLIL language. Respond to questions or instructions by matching. Greet one another. Create their own book. Week one learning outcomes for students

5. Week one learning outcomes for students CONTENT Identify key areas of the school. Students conduct themselves politely. Use a calendar. Students create their own books. LEARNING SKILLS Students can predict expectations based on classroom rules.
