​Japanese and English Literacy CLIL approach at Huntingdale Primary School
Huntingdale Primary School uses the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach to plan teaching and learning across the school in both Japanese and English. They find the CLIL approach facilitates clear processes for explicitly planning for both language and content teaching at all levels. The focus on identifying the language students need to learn to be able to engage with any area of the curriculum scaffolds teacher planning and instruction and supports the development of students' literacy skills.

FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS:
Digital Kinder University 
The digital Kinder University is an innovative educational project for children aged 8-12. A key aspect of the Kinder University is its online platform which is accessible to everyone free of charge. Students of the online university can explore 30 different video lectures in three faculties: Humankind, Nature and Technology. The Kinder University is based on children's innate interest in anything that is unfamiliar and at the same time introduces them to the German language.

FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS:
 
 Thema Energie: A CLIL Unit for Year 7 & 8 students 
In this CLIL unit year 7 & 8 students explore how countries like Australia and Germany create electricity. They investigate the consequences of our energy consumption for the earth, learn about the development of renewable energies and analyse ways to save energy.

Workshop on sustainable development
The concept of sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in various areas of our society, be it in food consumption, education, species protection, mobility or fair trade. Against this background, the Goethe-Institut developed resources for an interactive workshop on sustainability. At four stations, students use texts, listening comprehension or film clips to learn about different aspects of the topic and work on small tasks.
