Currículo Europeu para o Ensino Inclusivo da Linguagem Académica (EILA)

Abstract

Educational systems of most European countries seem to be unable to respond adequately to the growing migration-induced multilingualism. At the moment, none of the European member states has developed an integrated approach to address linguistic diversity in teacher pre- and in-service training programmes. With it, there is a need to move from “compartmentalised” language support approaches to “mainstreamed” approaches where second language instruction is integrated across school years and subjects in the regular school curriculum. The European Union COMENIUS Project EUCIM-TE has proposed such a curriculum, as well as national adaptations for eight European contexts. The present document is the Portuguese version of this curriculum proposal, the so called IALT (Inclusive Academic Language Teaching) core curriculum, which aims improving pre- and in-service teacher training for work with pupils with an ethnic and linguistic minority background.
