CLIL and language learning, the article of our researcher Letizia Ciganotto

An article on CLIL, written by our researcher, Letizia Ciganotto has been recently published on School Education Gateway, the online platform dedicated to education.

The article is available in Italian and in English but also in all the EU Languages.

The CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) method is gaining traction in Italy as provided for by the 2012 EU provision Rethinking Education:Investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes and the 2017 Eurydice report Key data on teaching languages at school in Europe.

In 2010, the reform of upper secondary school introduced this method in Italy. Indire supports the introduction of the CLIL method with various initiatives, such as research within Eurydice network on the themes related to foreign languages and the European project e-Twinning, which enables electronic twinning between schools of different European countries. CLIL and language learning are some of the themes dealt with on the platform.
