INNOVATING EDUCATION WITH CLIL: A DUAL-FOCUSED APPROACH TO CONTENT AND LANGUAGE LEARNING
Keywords:
CLIL, content, language, methodology, cultural contexts, education.Abstract
CLIL is an educational methodology aimed at the integrated learning of academic subjects and a foreign language. It serves to develop students’ creative and critical thinking skills, enhance their communication abilities, and foster respect for diverse cultures. The CLIL approach not only increases students’ capacity to work within various cultural contexts and to actively participate in the global community, but it also deepens their engagement with both content and language in modern education. Furthermore, CLIL contributes to a holistic educational experience by encouraging learners to reflect critically on their own cultural perspectives while gaining insights into those of others. This dual focus—on both content and language—helps to cultivate adaptable, culturally aware individuals who are well-equipped to participate actively in an interconnected world. Ultimately, CLIL deepens students' engagement with information and language, making it a highly effective methodology for modern education.
