Are you interested in working in a school that offers bilingual education (TTO)? As an English teacher you will most likely play an important role in such an environment. Bilingual education means that more than half of all school subjects in the lower forms (onderbouw) will be offered in English. For example, maths in English, history in English, etc. The didactic approach teachers use in these classes is called Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Usually, CLIL-teachers receive support from their English colleagues in terms of language coaching, but also in creating activities that not only convey content but also focus on language development of their pupils. 

Would you be interested in learning more about CLIL and about language coaching? Then you should definitely choose this minor.

Learning aims:

In your classes on campus, you will learn more about CLIL didactics and bilingual education in the Netherlands. You will learn about language coaching and the special role English teachers can hold in tto. Next do this, you will have two days of teaching practice (stage) per week.

- CLIL didactics and principles

- language coaching techniques aimed at coaching peers

De minor gaat van start bij voldoende inschrijvingen. Toelating geschiedt op volgorde van inschrijving. Houd er rekening mee dat een minor niet door kan gaan vanwege te weinig aanmeldingen of dat een minor vol kan zijn.

Zorg ervoor dat je leerovereenkomst voor het einde van de inschrijfperiode ondertekend is en per mail bij de contactpersoon binnen is.
Mail je overeenkomst naar minorsbe@windesheim.nl.

Let op; deeltijdstudenten betalen vaak een lager bedrag aan collegegeld dan het collegegeld dat voor de deeltijd of voltijdopleiding staat waar zij de minor willen volgen. Houd er rekening mee dat je in dat geval het verschil zelf dient te betalen.
