Abstract

6 páginasBook Review: International Perspectives on CLIL, edited by Chantal Hemmi, Darío Luis Banegas. Cham, Switzerland, Palgrave Macmillan, 2022, xxxviii + 300pp., ISBN 978-3-030-70097-3 (softcover).

As CLIL is gradually being accepted as an avenue to accommodate internationalisation at home, the book entitled International Perspectives on CLIL serves as an opportune presentation of CLIL theories and practices in multilingual and multicultural contexts.
