Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational strategy that combines content and language instruction. It involves teaching subjects such as science or history using a foreign language, thus facilitating the learning of both the subject matter and the language.
- Is context- embedded
- Is content-driven (rather than content-based9
- Has clearly defined learning outcomes for BOTH content and language.
- Makes creative use of language as learning tool (linguistic scaffolding)
- Connects learners to language use for different purposes at different times.
- Develops linguistic confidence and competence and promotes spontaneity
- Is localised and carefully adapted to fit specific context
- Is motivating for both teachers and learners

- Specialized vocabulary
- Key L2 language structures and grammatical features
- Information on subject-specific text type conventions and structural features

DEFINITION
Content and Languaje Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a dual-focused educational approach in which an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both content and language. That is, in the teaching and learning process, there is a focus not only on content, and not only on language Each is interwoven, even if the emphasis is greater on one or the other at a given time.
