CLIL

CLIl (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has emerged since the millennium as a major trend in education. Written by Do Coyle, Philip Hood and David Marsh and drawing on their experience of CLIL in secondary schools, primary schools and English language schools across Europe, this book gives a comprehensive overview of CLIL. It summarizes the theory which underpins the teaching of a content subject through another language and discusses its practical application, outlining the key directions for the development of research and practice. This book acknowledges the uncertainty many teachers feel about CLIL, because of the requirement for both language and subject knowledge, while providing theoretical and practical routes towards successful practice for all

The first comprehensive overview of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) that provides clear arguments on the specifics of this modern approach to language in education.

In a well-researched, extensive and coherent manner, this book deals with the main topics of the CLIL approach ... It is a well-written and readable volume which deserves the attention of everyone working in education. Dieter Wolff, Bergische Universitat Wuppertal

Finally a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of CLIL that covers critical theoretical and pedagogical background. This volume provides a thorough discussion of CLIL from multiple perspectives and is essential reading for educators and scholars working with and in CLIL. Fred Genesee, McGill University, Montreal
