Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes are the realization of the skills that students acquire in the matter. Three levels are

established:

- Optimal level: 100% acquisition of skills and expertise in at least 75% of them.

- Standard or medium level: acquisition of the majority of the alleged relevant powers and expertise in

those aspects contributing to the specific competencies of the title.

- Deficient Level: Insufficient acquisition of the aspects contributing to the specific competencies of the

title.

A student gets a grade of APTO if the level of learning is optimal or medium.

In this subject these learning outcomes are specified as follows:

R1: Identify the defining characteristics of CLIL for successful teaching of content subjects through a foreign language.

R2: Distinguish between CLIL and non-CLIL approaches to foreign language teaching.

R3: Apply the principles of CLIL for designing and assessing CLIL teaching proposals

R4: Create an original ready-to-use CLIL unit 

R5: Assess a CLIL unit as for its suitability according to the criteria discussed in class.
