Coyle, D., Hood, P., & Marsh, D. (2010). CLIL: Content and language integrated
learning. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
--> This book is for language teachers, teacher trainers, and administrators and researchers.
Writing from their CLIL experience at primary, secondary, and English language schools
across Europe, they begin by explaining what CLIL is and how it developed, its theoretical
underpinnings (including Bloom's taxonomy of cognition, the language Tryptich showing the
connection between language of, for and through learning, and the 4Cs of CLIL), and present
models of how CLIL can operate in various school settings. The second section presents the
CLIL Tool Kit, with guides for planning, preparing, and teaching a CLIL unit, as well as
evaluating learning. The final section introduces CLIL tasks and addresses CLIL materials
development, learner assessment, and program assessment. The final chapter looks at how
CLIL might develop around the world in the future.

teachers. Cambridge Handbook for Language Teachers. Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press.
--> Hands-on book starting with a chapter defining and explaining CLIL, benefits for teachers
and learners, and responsibilities of teachers. Other chapters present a series of classroom
activities addressing language, speaking and writing. Finally, the authors present ideas for
assessment and feedback. This book is aimed for use at primary and secondary schools, but all
are relevant to higher education. The aim of the activities presented is "to inspire you to
experiment" (Introduction, p. 1).

Academic English program in detail. The book ends with three different reference lists in
English (one with Japanese annotations).

language integrated learning in bilingual and multilingual education. Macmillan
Books for Teachers. Oxford, UK: Macmillan Education.
--> This is a practical, easy to read and understand book that, though is aimed at CLIL
teaching, but at the same time, addrresses good teaching practice. It begins with the
background to the development of CLIL, then presents 30 core features of CLIL, and the 4Cs
(though not called the 4Cs). What follows is a chapter of step-by-step descriptions of
classroom activities aimed at primary to secondary school to vocational school settings. The
authors refer bak to the 30 CLIL features and the 4Cs and how they relate to each setting. The
next chapter gives how-to advice to teachers in putting all of the components of a lesson into
place. After that, a chapter is devoted to helping teachers enable students to take control over
their learning through such things as scaffolding and critical thinking. Chapter 6 outlines
many aspects of good teaching, good classroom management, and helping students become
independent learners. The book ends with a toolbox of how-tos. This section also includes a
very helpful "planning and observation checklist" for teachers to consult as they plan their
lessons and to stimulate feedback from class observation by peers.
