What is CLIL?

CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. This means studying another subject (for example, science, history, or literature) and learning a language, such as English, at the same time — integrating the two subjects. The definition is broad because the integration can happen in many different ways.

The fundamental principle of CLIL is that there is an integration between using language to learn and learning to use language through the development of content.

Some of the basic principles of CLIL are that in the CLIL classroom:

Language is used to learn as well as to communicate.

It is the subject matter which determines the language needed to learn.

CLIL elements

Content - Progression in knowledge, skills and understanding related to specific elements of a defined curriculum.

The foreign language is learned through topic content provided in a way that encourages active natural learning. The focus for language learning is NOT on structure or grammar, but on language use in reallife contexts (to solve tasks).

Communication - Using language to learn whilst learning to use language.

The emphasis is put on effective linguistic learning for communication and immediate use. Language is used as a medium to perform tasks, solve problems, develop projects, as well as to express ideas.

Cognition - Developing thinking skills which link concept formation (abstract and concrete), understanding and language.

The foreign language (English) is used as a language for thinking in parallel with the mother tongue. Using English for thinking enriches understanding of concepts.

Culture - Exposure to alternative perspectives and shared understandings, which deepen awareness of otherness and self.

Learning a foreign language is learning about cultures that use that language and contrasting them with one’s own culture. Using English for communication and thinking is a key competence to function across multilingual globalised spaces,
