The usage and the importance of CLIL metod in the process of teaching
Abstract
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach that involves teaching subject content through a foreign or second language, simultaneously developing both content knowledge and language proficiency. This article explores the usage of CLIL in modern language teaching, its importance in fostering bilingual competence, and its impact on student motivation and cognitive skills. Drawing from empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, it highlights benefits such as enhanced language acquisition in meaningful contexts, increased learner engagement, and preparation for globalization, while addressing challenges like teacher training needs and potential impacts on content mastery. The discussion underscores CLIL's effectiveness in European and international contexts, supported by research showing superior language outcomes compared to traditional methods
