CLIL involves students learning subjects such as science or geography through the medium of a foreign language. Other related terms include ‘Content-based instruction', ‘English across the curriculum', and ‘Bilingual education'.
CLIL is sometimes referred to as dual-focused education as lessons have two main aims, one related to a particular subject or topic and one linked to language.
How does a CLIL lesson work?
In a CLIL lesson, the subject defines the language that is used. Language is used both to learn about the subject and to communicate. Students acquire the language through exposure and use, rather than through focused instruction.
The 4Cs Curriculum (Coyle 1999) suggested that a successful CLIL lesson should focus on:
• Content: learning new knowledge and skills
• Communication: using language to learn while learning to use language
• Cognition: developing thinking skills
• Culture: learning about your own and other countries' cultures
