CLIL: A European Approach to Bilingual Education
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is a term used especially in Europe for forms of bilingual
education where an additional language, in most cases English, is used as the language of instruction in
nonâlanguage school subjects. This chapter outlines the development of CLIL, embedded both in
European level policies and in growing awareness of the new orientations to language learning
introduced, for example, in language immersion research. Because of its potential to serve as a context
for meaningful language use and situated language learning, CLIL has been regarded by EU institutions
as an important instrument to foster European citizensâ biâ and multilingualism, to be offered alongside
regular foreign language teaching for students in mainstream education. This chapter introduces the
main strands of CLIL research that have revealed a great deal of the possibilities and challenges that CLIL
as an educational approach entails, for both students and teachers. Overall, there has been a shift in
emphasis in research from studies orienting to effects of CLIL on language learning outcomes to studies
that point towards the need to adopt a truly integrated view on language and content, and to explore
the potential that CLIL has in supporting the development of subject literacies.peerReviewe
