HISTORY OF CLIL Made by Seitimov Nurlybek What is CLIL ? Content and language integrated learning is an approach for learning content through an additional language (foreign or second), thus teaching both the subject and the language. The Founder of CLIL The term CLIL was created in 1994 by David Marsh as a methodology similar to, but distinct from, language immersion and content-based learning. Why CLIL ? Why CLIL? Successful language learning can be achieved when people have the opportunity to receive instruction, and at the same time experience real-life situations in which they can acquire the language. What CLIL can offer to learners of any age, is a more natural situation for language development which builds on other forms of learning. This natural use of language can boost a learner's motivation towards learning languages. Research Foundations It takes 5-7 years for students in a quality bilingual program to become academically proficient in English. Learners develop fluency in English by using English to communicate for a variety of purposes. Language acquisition is not a linear process; it is cyclical and recursive. Learners acquire best when they create, discover and construct their own meanings. Reading is essential for developing academic English skills. Semantic fluency precedes grammatical accuracy and errors are a natural part of language learning.

COGNITION Developing thinking skills which link concept formation, understanding and language COMMUNICATION Using language to learn - whilst learning to use language.
