Teaching the 4 skills of language - reading, writing, listening and speaking - is important for CLIL activities. The teacher must consider a student's age when choosing activities since skills develop at different rates. For example, reading activities are not suitable for preschoolers. To improve reading, students can underline unknown words in a text. Developing writing involves summaries and mind maps. Listening and speaking are improved through songs, role-plays and videos. Some activities like watching a documentary with subtitles aid multiple skills.
