CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a relatively new pedagogical approach that focuses on the teaching and learning of a non-linguistic subject through the means of a foreign language. It has been defined as a “dual-focused” approach that stresses the acquisition of both subject and language matter as two equally important aspects in the educational process.
The aim of the paper will be to discuss opportunities for implementing CLIL in higher education and to present the results of a case study conducted with primary education students at the Faculty of Education, Trakia University, Stara Zagora.
