What did I learn in the course?

I have learnt different ways of teaching, basically. I wasn't aware of all the different types of content based learning. 

How has the course impacted my future teaching and ideas?

Now I see clearly that it is a fact that for the CLIL class you need interdisciplinary collaboration and a good selection of adapted materials in order to plan your classes. However, even the best materials can be counterproductive if the teacher is unable to produce  good interactions that can generate both content and language learning.

What have I learnt with the project and how has it made me rethink/reshape my role as a language teacher?

I understood how sometimes is very hard to be understood by students even when you think it is a very simple task or word. This means that the effort is bigger and you have to be very aware of the challenge that it represents for students. 

How have I participated in the course project?

I adapted all the activities and materials to the Italian language and carried out the teaching performance. in addition, I contributed with ideas for the general development of the course project.
