The Role of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Second/Foreign Language Education

CLIL integrates content subjects with language learning, promoting both subject knowledge and language proficiency simultaneously.
Effective CLIL implementation involves careful planning, collaboration between language and subject teachers, and the use of scaffolding techniques.
CLIL enhances learner motivation and engagement by providing meaningful contexts for language use.
Challenges include ensuring adequate teacher preparation, aligning curriculum goals, and addressing diverse learner needs.
Future directions involve incorporating technology to support CLIL, developing teacher training programs, and researching long-term outcomes of CLIL.
