‘ Content
and Language Integrated Learning
(CLIL) is a dual-focused educational
approach in which an additional
language is used for the learning and
teaching of both content and
language’.
• According to Marsh (2002), there
should always be a dual focus on
language and content for instruction
to qualify as CLIL, even if the
proportion is 90 per cent versus 10
per cent.
As regards
language policy and implementation, in
2003 the European Commission brought
out an Action Plan for language learning
and linguistic diversity, where CLIL was
encouraged as one of the innovative
methods to improve the quality of
language learning and teaching.
2.1. The 4Cs Framework

• Content _ integrating content from across the


curriculum through high-quality language
interaction,
• Cognition _ engaging learners through
creativity, higher-order thinking, and
knowledge processing,
• Communication _ using language to learn and
mediate ideas, thoughts and values and
• Culture _ interpreting and understanding the
significance of content and language and their
contribution to identity and citizenship.
2.2. The role of language and content in
the integrated approach

• CLIL demands a reconceptualisation of the


role of language in CLIL settings from
language learning per se (based on
grammatical progression) towards an
approach which combines learning to use
language and using language to learn.

• In the 4Cs Framework communication


involves CLIL teachers and learners in using
and developing language of learning, for
learning and through learning.
