Engagement with Initial Teacher Education (ITE) Students
Recognising the importance of preparing future teachers, PPLI engaged with ITE students in 2024 through
targeted guest lectures:
•
Delivered three guest lectures, which focused on CLIL’s pedagogical foundations and its application in
Irish classrooms, at the University of Limerick as part of the Innovative Approaches Module
•
Facilitated a guest lecture in Maynooth University, introducing PPLI’s supports for teachers and exploring
CLIL methodologies
These engagements aimed to inspire future teachers to integrate CLIL practices into their teaching and
highlighted the role of PPLI in supporting innovative language teaching methodologies.
In-Service Teacher CPD
2024 saw the largest ever number of in-service teachers attending PPLI’s CLIL CPD. Forty teachers
participated in a two-day CPD event, which included:
•
Collaborative sessions to share experiences and best practice
•
Workshops on developing and implementing CLIL resources
•
Networking opportunities that led to inter-school collaborations and resource co-creation projects
Teachers left the CPD equipped with actionable strategies to implement CLIL in their classrooms and a
stronger professional network to support ongoing development.
