9/ CLIL



CLIL


Meaning: Content and Language Integrated Learning

'CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focused aims, namely the learning of content, and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language'. (Marsh, 1994)

This approach involves learning subjects such as history, geography or others, through an additional language. It can be very successful in enhancing the learning of languages and other subjects, and developing in the youngsters a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards themselves as language learners. (Marsh, 2000)




Now we are doing a CLIL project in group and it's very interesting, because we have to think that our students don't speak English as L1, English is her/his foreign language and we have to teach science in English, but with students that they don't speak or understand completely the English language. 

Is a challenge!
