Working CLIL team
Working CLIL team members are from CETAPS member institutions and have an active interest in CLIL/bilingual education in Portugal at investigative, pedagogic and administrative levels. The geographical location of members in Portugal, which spans the country from north to south, is greatly advantageous to the mapping of the phenomenon as well as opportunities for regional focus groups, events and teacher education.
