UNDERSTANDING AND IMPLEMENTING CLIL IN MODERN EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

This article explores the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in modern education, focusing on its challenges and opportunities. CLIL, an approach where a foreign language is used as the medium of instruction in non-language subjects, aims to enhance language proficiency and subject knowledge simultaneously. The article examines the pedagogical principles underlying CLIL, its impact on student engagement and learning outcomes, and the challenges educators face in its implementation, such as resource limitations and teacher training. It also discusses the opportunities CLIL offers for fostering multilingual competencies and global awareness in students, making it a valuable tool in today's increasingly interconnected world.
