How old is CLIL?
The term CLIL was ‘invented’ by David Marsh,
University of Jyväskylä, Finland in 1994
"CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or
parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign
language with dual-focused aims, namely the
learning of content and the simultaneous
learning of a foreign language."

Are you a CLIL teacher?
This is CLIL where the teaching and
learning is focused primarily on the subject
content and so is content-driven
This means that the subject content is given primary focus, this
applies to both content and the administrative implications. For
example, a school that uses total immersion – where the academic
(and possibly social) medium is in the new language – would operate
under a strong version of CLIL and favour subject concepts and skills
in the language being taught. .
What is Hard (or Strong)
CLIL?
The soft version of CLIL is one in which the
teaching and learning is focused primarily
on language and so is language-driven.
A language-driven approach mean foreign language classes using
more content than is typical of such programmes, or using didactic
units which make greater use of subject-based content. The
language-driven approach has language learning as its basic objective.
What is Soft (or Weak)
CLIL?
The mid (or ‘comfortable’) version of CLIL is
one where lesson subjects, or parts of
subjects, are taught via a foreign language
with dual-focused aims, and where learning
is a combination of both language and
content.

Italian or English?
Guarda il ciclo della vita e scrivi le parole.
Ecco un seme di girasole. Si semina in primavera e poi
inizia a crescere e diventa una pianta. Ha bisogno di
concime, calore e acqua. Dopo qualche settimana
spuntano le foglie e allora ci vuole tanto sole. Poi
arrivano i fiori
– guarda come si girano verso il sole! Quando il colore
del fiore cambia da giallo a marrone si vedono tanti
semi. Alcuni semi puoi darli agli uccelli, altri puoi tenerli
per piantarli la prossima primavera quando il ciclo della
natura ricomincia, oppure puoi mangiarli tu!
