1. THE CLIL MODEL IN A
BILINGUAL SCHOOL

2. What is CLIL?
Content and Language Integrated Learning
• An approach in which a f……... language
is used as the m…………….. for teaching
a c……………. subject such as
S…………, H………... or …………..t. The
target language and the subject content
have a j……………. role in the learning.

3. • The focus is on natural language and
inherently interesting content that is
relevant to the learners’ other studies.
• Learners are learning as they use the
language, and using it as they learn;
not learning now to use later or
learning how to pass an exam.
What works in our reality?

4. CLIL Goals
• Bilingualism:
• High levels of proficiency in English and a
second language
• Biliteracy:
• High levels of academic proficiency in
English and a second language
• Multicultural competence:
• Understanding of different cultures and
development of high self esteem

5. Combining Skills
• All four language
skills:
CONTENT

6. 1. Combining Elements
• Content
It is the subject area which determines the
language needed to learn.
• Communication
Language is used to learn as well as to
communicate.
• Cognition
Thinking skills and strategies need to be
developed.
• Culture
Exposure to alternative perspectives broadens the
mind.

7. CLIL in practice
• Language is used to learn as well as to
communicate.
• The subject matter determines the language
needed.
• Input comes from listening, and reading
meaningful material.
• Speaking focuses on fluency not accuracy.
• Lexis and grammar are recycled in writing
activities.
• Learners develop fluency by using English to
communicate for a variety of purposes through the
different subject matters.
• Learners (are expected to) become proficient in
English after 5-7 years.
