And remember...

‘Teachers open the doors but students enter themselves. Do not underestimate them since they are not empty bags. They are full of ideas to exploit and no-one better than pupils to help you see what they really need and can cope with.’

Success is up to you, so bear this in mind when planning a CLIL unit.
