CLIL Methodology
The Future of Bilingual Education Is CLIL. Are You Ready?
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.
Although the term “CLIL” is modern, the technique is as old as learning itself. The approach became more formalized in the 1960s, in language immersion programs in Canada and with languages across the curriculum programs in the UK and the US.
CLIL programs aim to increase students’ subject-area knowledge while at the same time improving their knowledge of and skills in the target language. In addition, students should improve their own ability to learn and to appreciate a new culture.
CLIL methodology is applicable in all types of organizations, including primary and secondary schools, vocational schools, colleges, and universities. If any of the following describe you or your organization, contact us to learn more about CLIL certification.
