CLIL stands for Content and Integrated Learning. It refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to through a foreign language. This can be by the English using cross-curricular content or the subject teacher using English as the language of instruction. Both methods result in the learning of content and English.

The term CLIL was by David Marsh, University of Jyväskylä, Finland (1994): "CLIL to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are through a foreign language with dual-focused , namely the of content and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language."

However, CLIL teaching has been for many years, from the Babylonian era to the early sixties when bi-lingual was introduced in many schools around the world. Even if you are unaware of the term CLIL, you may already have been using CLIL for many years.
