3. CLIL: WHAT IT IS
• http://www.ecml.at/
• CLIL is the acronym for Content and Language Integrated
Learning, coined in 1994 by David Marsh and Anne Maljers
(Marsh, 1994) with some of their collaborators, who defined the
pedagogical and educational aspects of CLIL, bringing in the
field of education a real revolution.)

4. THE PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS
It unites learning theories, language learning theories and
intercultural understanding
CLIL involves learning to use language appropriately whilst using
language to learn effectively.
A CLIL lesson looks at content and language in equal measure,
A CLIL LESSON promotes critical and creative thought, discussion and
learner autonomy, helping students in recognising the limitations of their
current thinking and learning and understanding, when they need
additional information in order to contribute to joint problem-solving

5. THE CLIL LESSON
In a CLIL lesson, language is seen in real-life situations, so
errors are a natural part of language learning and it becomes
clear that fluency becomes more and more important than
accuracy
In a CLIL lesson, from a wider perspective, you can introduce a
wider cultural context, to prepare for internationalisation, to
access International Certification and enhance the school
profile
