CLIL Sequence

Final Project

CLIL & EFL

CLIL is an integrated process, a methodology for language teaching. It is based on certain methodological principles that are particularly important according to research in the didactics of foreign languages, such as the need for the learner to be placed in a situation of authentic communication. On the other hand we must introduce the concept of EFL which is the didactics of the foreign language.

TYPES OF CLIL

1) Hard CLIL is focused on the subject which is/are taught entirely in L2 (30% of the maximum annual hours)

2) Medium CLIL is focused on the subject (partial immersion) which is taught in L2 (just part of the subject not all of it) and only 1 hour per week (15 hours per semester).

3) Soft CLIL is content focused (focused on L2), a non-linguistic content taught in the L2 subject area (45 minutes per week).
