CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) teaching has a history in Italy. The autonomous region of Val d'Aosta promotes bilingual education in Italian and French according to its 1948 statute. This was designed to promote competence in the neighboring country's language and culture. Italian law has also encouraged CLIL teaching since 2002. There have been several ministerial projects implementing CLIL since the early 1990s. Current experiences focus on CLIL teaching in secondary schools, where networks have formed between schools and universities to conduct research and teacher training in various regions across Italy.
