At ELI, we implement Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) across all our courses. CLIL is an innovative educational approach in which both fictional and non-fictional topics are taught through a non-native language—primarily English. This methodology allows learners to acquire subject knowledge and language skills simultaneously.
By engaging with a wide variety of topics in English, learners are exposed to a richer and more diverse linguistic environment. This not only broadens their vocabulary but also helps develop critical skills and subject-specific knowledge in a more immersive context.
The benefits of CLIL are well-documented and include increased confidence in using a non-native language, enhanced cognitive and academic performance, improved communication skills, and a deeper understanding of intercultural and community values. Research also supports the effectiveness and flexibility of CLIL, particularly for young learners, in developing proficiency across all four key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
