She is part of a training and consultancy team at the European Center for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe. We offer bilingual (English / French) training with hands-on activities to take teachers and teacher educators from the basics of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) to an understanding of deeper learning episodes which support the transfer of learning across language and subjects.
