CLIL in the Context of Foreign Language Teaching

2. CLIL, Bilingualism and Immersion

bilBilingualism, as an objective of EU language policy, influenced by individual national policies, undergoes constant re-evaluation of effectiveness.

CLIL and bilingualism

  • Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is closely linked to bilingual education but differs in its objectives.

  • CLIL aims to improve students' ability and confidence in using the vehicular language rather than aiming for full bilingualism.

  • CLIL provides students with a practical and enriching language learning experience, focusing on both language and content.
