Abstract

In this paper the author introduces the conception of teaching CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in a specialised English course for student teachers at the Faculty of Science Masaryk University. She deals with the methodological aspects of the approach which are transferrable beyond CLIL and beneficial to future teachers of any subject. Specifically, she discusses scaffolding, i.e., the supporting strategies guiding a pupil through increasingly more challenging tasks. In the last part of the presentation, the author summarises the main points and comments from a survey which imply that students mainly struggle with structuring their lessons and the choice of suitable activities for their teaching.
