Guidelines for CLIL Implementation

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is the most common term used in the European setting to describe the approach to teaching a curriculum subject through a foreign language, with the dual focus of acquiring more subject knowledge and improving one’s skills and competences in the foreign language.

This edited volume brings together the experiences and knowledge gained through the PROCLIL programme about CLIL implementation in Primary and Pre-primary Education.

PROCLIL was co-funded by the European Commission (Comenius fund) and focused on the implementation of CLIL in Primary and Pre-primary education.
