Daniela Johne-Yamamoto, originally from Germany, has been teaching CLIL in public schools in Italy for three years. She will talk about her previous teaching in elementary schools there and her current work in elementary schools, where she has created materials and a curriculum for 'earth science'.
Tony Ryan, originally from Australia, will talk about possibilities for CLIL at elementary school in Japan, based on lessons he has devised for 6th grade students and experiences from a CLIL course for teacher trainees in the English course at Aichi University of Education. He will argue that elementary school English education in Japan should give a greater role to process-based syllabi rather than product-based syllabi, and engage higher levels of cognition.
