Abstract

CLIL is an acronym for Content and Language Integrated Learning and as the
term suggests, this approach is used to teach students about a new subject in a language
foreign to them. In a CLIL course, learners not only learn a second language but also
learn about a topic totally new to them, for example geography or climate change.
Learning about geography involves developing knowledge and understanding
of:where learners live, other people and places, how people and places interrelate, the
significance of location, human and physical environments, causes and concequences
of change, explaining geographical patterns and processes.
