This is the presentation I gave (will give!) to the teachers and teacher-trainers at the Learning Technologies and Young Learners conference in Milan on 25 March 2009. The conference was organised by The British Council and IATEFL (the International Association for Teaching English as as Foreign Language.)

6. “Web 2.0, social web, Facebook, online games: the
truth is that many, students network with their
classmates and with international new friends many
hours per day.
Does this actually support CLIL and teaching stuff, or
take away from it? Isn't it a bit frustrating to know that
students are so active at home, but not in class?
In my opinion, the problem is that so many teachers
don't see how useful other methods can be, too.”
