An experience in prehistory: a cooperative project through CLIL

Abstract

The present Master’s Dissertation consists of a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) didactic proposal for the 4th grade of Primary Education focused on the topic of Prehistory. This subject is often presented to the learners in a receptive way. Therefore, there is the need to make the topic experiential, communicative and holistic in order to benefit the students’ development and learning process. The project is based on effectively combining key competences within the Knowledge of the Natural, Social and Cultural Environment class, linking CLIL with Project Based Learning (PBL), cooperative learning, Integrated Language Learning, Assessment for Learning, Object-oriented Didactics and other strategies. These will be explained and justified, reflecting the importance of knowing, analyzing and improving the teaching practice to positively influence learning. However, room is always left for continuous improvement.
