CLILEl Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y

Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE)CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. It refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language. This can be by the English teacher using cross-curricular content or the subject teacher using English as the language of instruction. Both methods result in the simultaneous learning of content and English.

The term CLIL was coined by David Marsh and Anne Maljers , University of Jyväskylä, Finland (1994): "CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focused aims, namely the learning of content and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language."

4 PRINCIPLES OF CLIL

At the heart of a learning process lie successful content or thematic learning and the acquisition of knowledge, skills and understanding. Content is the subject or the project theme

Language is a conduit for communication and for learning. The formula learning to use language and using language to learn is applicable here

There must be challenge for learners to think and review and engage in higher order thinking skills. CLIL is not about the transfer of knowledge from an expert to a novice. CLIL is about allowing individuals to construct their own understanding and be challenged

Studying through a foreign language is fundamental to fostering international understanding. ‘Otherness’ is a vital concept and holds the key for discovering self. Culture can have wide interpretation – eg. through pluricultural citizenship
