Multicultural education in the CLIL Primary classroom through fairy tales

Abstract

I believe it is necessary to provide a clear definition of what do we mean by multicultural education and what it implies. I will also look at the relations between CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and multicultural education, analyzing how it can be implemented in this approach. Furthermore, I will analyze how literature, more specifically fairytales, can be introduced in a CLIL approach and its implications. The next objective is to analyze the power of fairy tales as multiculturalism education resources. The intervention proposal will have the aim to contribute to the creation of original and meaningful materials in order to work towards multicultural education through fairy tales.
