Speech Title: Research on English Teaching of Public International Law under CLIL model in the Era of Globalization

Speech Abstract: Since the year of 2000, bilingual teaching and all English have become the focus of educational reform in universities in China. In recent years, with one belt, one road initiative, China increasingly needs compound international talents who are "clear about international law and proficient in English". In order to cultivate such talents, an all English course of public international law has been set up for law students in many universities in China. The traditional teaching methods have encountered many practical problems and difficulties when conducting in English. In order to reform the all-in-English public international law course, the CLIL --- content and language integrated learning should be integrated into the teaching and learning process.

As for interpreting the application of the CLIL teaching method and its characteristics and merits, some examples are demonstrated in this paper. Moreover, the teaching effects before and after applying CLIL are also illustratied for comparison. The application of CLIL methed in the all-in-English course of public international law are designed from the pre-class preparation of teachers to course language and small activities. Applying CLIL method in the all-in-English course of public international lawnot only helps to cultivate students' reading ability of legal documents in English, but also be conducive to the cultivation of "problem consciousness" and "problem thinking" of both teachers and students, and enable students to understand the theoretical knowledge of international law better and improve their English language ability at the same time in a relaxed and comfortable teaching environment.
