Simulation Exercise
Language learning through financial topic using CLIL aproach
Language learning through financial topics using the CLIL approach helps students build both language and financial literacy through gamified, real-life scenarios inspired by the GAMI.FI.RE. lesson plan model (gamifire.eu)
Aims of the tool
Objectives:
Integrate financial literacy into language learning.
Develop vocabulary and communication skills in authentic contexts.
Foster problem-solving and decision-making through gamified tasks.
Encourage reflection and collaboration using the CLIL framework.
Description of the tool
This approach combines language learning with financial education through the CLIL methodology, focusing on meaningful, real-life financial situations. Inspired by the GAMI.FI.RE. project and its lesson plan template, students engage in interactive, game-based activities that simulate budgeting, saving, and financial decision-making. By working on practical challenges, learners use the target language as a tool for communication and critical thinking. The lessons integrate gamification elements such as badges and personas, promoting motivation, autonomy, and active participation while enhancing both linguistic and financial competence.
