Last March 1, educators from across Japan joined ELLI online for our Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) workshop. Together, we explored practical strategies to design lessons where students don’t just learn English — they use it to think, inquire, and communicate meaningfully.
The conversations were insightful, reflective, and grounded in real classroom practice.
