22 CLIL Summary Making Things Better for You! What is CLIL? CLIL stands for Content Language Integrated Learning. It is the teaching of a subject such as geography, science, or history through English to learners whose first language is not English. It is also know as ‘ Content-based Learning ’ or ‘ Cross Curricular Content ’. What are the benefits of CLIL? Students learn the same way as native speakers do. Lessons are based around highly motivational topics using a top down approach. The content is familiar to students and multiple intelligence friendly. Students focus on fluency and communication and have the opportunity to experiment with language. How is CLIL taught? It is not unlike the EFL classroom; you will still have exercises practicing the 4 macro skills, vocabulary, group/pair work and you even check the answers at the end of a lesson. What changes is the focus. Instead of focusing on the language, you focus on the content. The best news is you don’t even have to be subject matter expert to teach CLIL. Who is CLIL for? CLIL is for schools and teachers looking to move into ‘American School’ curriculum teaching. It is more user friendly than authentic school teaching but more challenging and constructive than the traditional EFL classroom.
