Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been a tremendous success story and its influence on teaching practice is currently expanding quickly across Europe and beyond. One of the available definitions describes CLIL as: “a dual- focused educational approach in which an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both content and language” (Mehisto and Marsh, 2008: 9). More generally, we could say that it is the integration of learning a foreign language with learning some other content. Moreover, students are expected to focus on the content or information rather than on a linguistic syllabus.
