Many children are now relatively proficient in general English by the time they reach secondary school age and need something more than a re-hash of what they have already learnt. These trends go hand in hand with the perception of English as the international language of choice for career development, and show no sign of slackening.
The belief underlying CLIL is that teaching subjects through English provides a better preparation for professional life than teaching English as a subject empty of content. There are, too, clear motivational advantages in teaching English for a well-defined purpose which is perceived as relevant by the students.CLIL has recently become something of a cult movement, and there are many articles and even some books which discuss its theoretical foundations.
There is, however, a relative dearth of books offering practical, classroom-tested ideas on ways to implement a CLIL approach. This book aims to go some way towards meeting the need for such a practical resource.
