CLIL
          CLIL involves teaching a curricular subject 
           through the medium of a language other than 
           that normally used.
          CLIL recognized as a teaching methodology 
           by the Commission of the European 
           Communities  Communication No. 449 on 
           “Promoting Language Learning and Linguistic 
           Diversity: An Action Plan 2004 – 2006”, 
           published in 2003.
          CLIL has steadily rooted its teaching 
           principles and is slowly becoming a dominant 
           methodology in all sectors of education that 
           are sensitive to bilingual education.

    CLIL
            Research and reflective practice literature is 
             abundant and CLIL is being the focus of an 
             increasing amount of empirical studies proving 
             the methodology’s worth.
            CLIL teachers
             … specialists in their own disciplne rather than 
               laguyage teachers
             … fluent speakers of the target language
             … collaborate with language teachers to develop a 
               dual-purpose syllabus
            Key issue  the learner gains new knowledge 
             about the subject matter while encountering, 
             using and learning the foreign language.
