EFFECTIVE METHODS OF TEACHING THROUGH CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING (CLIL)

Abstract

The approach of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has gained attention for its dual benefits: fostering both language skills and subject knowledge. This article examines practical and effective methods educators use to implement CLIL successfully, particularly in primary and secondary education settings. Drawing from classroom experiences and recent educational studies, several core techniques—such as task-based learning, scaffolding, project-based learning, and the use of digital tools—are explored. Findings indicate that CLIL not only improves language acquisition but also enhances student engagement and deeper understanding of content. Based on these insights, practical suggestions for teachers and schools are provided.
