“Course Guidebook for The History of Western Art Music: 450-1900”
I visualize each of the subsections (e.g., 1.1) as two facing pages.
This is the content aspect of the course ; the language part I’m still working on. It’s the ‘C’ of CLIL. ☺ Subsequent posting will give you all an idea of the language work.
The students are not expected to have any prior knowledge of music.
The students’ level of English might / could / will vary — possibly resulting in a split level class with false beginners on one end and fluent speakers / communicators on the other.
