CLIL in New contexts

Abstract

Content & Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) usually refers to the use of a foreign language or a language other than the native language to teach content subjects in secondary and tertiary education classrooms. The approach employed by content and language-integrated teaching can look back on a history of more than two thousand years (viz. Haataja 2010: 1047). It has increasingly become a multi-faceted issue in foreign language education resulting from the huge increase in international mobility and accompanied by new challenges in education theory and practice.
