Summary
Definition& basic concepts: The roots of this new tendency could be found back in the 80s. The greatest benefit of the CLIL approach is that a student stays in contact with the target language much longer, and the most important, its use is contextualized, i.e. it is given a real sense In the practice, this means that subjects like Biology, Geography and Mathematics, for example, can be taught in the target language, broadening this way the communicative contexts. It is seen as a way to support goals such as transfer of learning, teaching students to think and reason, and providing a curriculum more relevant to students This new approach corresponds perfectly to 4Cs of the 21st century education: critical thinking and problem solving; communication, collaboration; and creativity and innovation
