CLIL

Four dimensions (4 Cs) form a conceptual framework Content integrating content from across the curriculum Cognition engaging learners through knowledge processing Communication using language to learn and lead to ideas, thoughts and values Culture interpreting and understanding the significance of content and language and their contribution to identity and citizenship

Content CLIL provides learning contexts which are relevant to the needs and interests of learners CLIL supports the integration of language into the broader curriculum CLIL can be explicitly linked to literacy, forming linguistic bridges across the curriculum.

Cognition CLIL promotes learner progression in both language skills and knowledge construction CLIL helps to redefine the curriculum, sharpening the focus on the interconnections between language development and thinking skills.

Communication CLIL involves using language in the here and now to construct new knowledge and skills CLIL offers direct opportunities to learn through language CLIL offers genuine opportunities to interact face to face and through the use of new technologies e.g. internet, video-conferencing, international projects.

Culture CLIL is particularly relevant in classrooms where learners bring diverse language and cultural experiences CLIL is an appropriate vehicle for exploring the links between language and cultural identity, examining behaviours, attitudes and values CLIL strengthens intercultural understanding and promotes global citizenship.
