Abstract
Chapter 9 explores how CLIL teachers can facilitate the development of visual literacy in primary education. Literacy in visual arts encompasses the practices and strategies that enable individuals to understand, synthesize, and communicate about artists, artworks, audiences, and art practices (Victoria State Government, 2021). The chapter begins with a review of studies on disciplinary literacy in visual arts and an overview of Taiwan’s national curriculum guidelines for primary visual art education. It then analyzes Simen’s CLIL art lessons with the Literacy Approach to CLIL Planning framework to identify best practices and opportunities for supporting young learners’ development of visual literacy in the arts.
