LT1062 To develop subject literacy in physics for grades 7-9 and upper secondary school through content and language integrated learning (CLIL) 3.0 credits

The course is designed to help the participants develop the skills needed to successfully employ a content- and language-integrated learning approach in order to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

The course gives an introduction to the development of the literacy of the physics subject in multilingual school environments.

The course is conducted online, with assignments and seminars.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

1. Explain the importance of the language for developing knowledge and literacy in physics education.

2. Identify and discuss the linguistic characteristics and the requirements specific to the physics subject in order for all pupils, irrespective of linguistic background, to be able to express and display their knowledge using a relevant and subject-specific language.

3. Plan and carry out teaching in the physics subject with a content- and language-integrated learning (CLIL) approach in order to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

4. Reflect on experiences of content- and language-integrated learning in order to improve their teaching practice, promote continuous professional development, and improve the pupils' learning outcomes.

Teaching degree in physics.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
