An Introduction To CLIL
CLIL refers to situations where subjects or parts of subjects are taught through a foreign language with dual aims of learning content and the foreign language simultaneously. CLIL features include content, language, integration of content and language learning goals, and developing thinking skills to manage this fusion. CLIL in schools aims to prepare students for an international society by teaching subjects in a foreign language and bringing language learning into content classes. Benefits of CLIL include increased motivation, improved language skills, and preparation for future studies or careers.
