Is CILLL the new CLIL? Critical thinking and extensive reading.

CILLL is an invented acronym for Content in Language Learner Literature. Original fiction dealing with controversial or sensitive contemporary issues can stimulate a genuine response to text, in contrast to it being used as a pretext for language practice. This interactive session will explore how extensive reading can aid the development of critical thinking, with examples from Cambridge English Readers.

Hi Philip

I'm really glad to see more critical approaches being considered in ELT. This is something that we have been working with for about 4 years now with a group of teachers in Latin America and it is encouraging to see more people adopting these views.
Looking forward to your session.

Cheers - Chris
