June Webinar: From Culture to Classroom: Creating CLIL Materials with a Local Voice

Join Tamara Jumabayeva on 15 June at 13.00 (UK time) for an exploration of how teachers can design CLIL materials that are both pedagogically sound and culturally relevant. Drawing on her experience teaching English and Science at primary level in Kazakhstan, Tamara will examine how the integration of local culture into worksheets and classroom activities can enhance comprehension, increase engagement, and promote learners’ willingness to communicate in English.
