The Foreign Language Curriculum and CLIL.

Abstract:

The concept of integration between language and non-language content – not to be

confused with LSP or topic syllabi – is becoming particularly important in the reconsideration of

foreign language teaching approaches and in the need to prepare students with a competence

that prepares for work and study in international or even domestic contexts where a competence

in a foreign language is required. Furthermore, language and content integration in the foreign

language curriculum allows for the divide between language and cognition to be bridged, it

introduces substantive content which students and motivating and it recognises the existence of 

language varieties that differ according to the context – social or academic – of use. These aspects

underpin the reflections in this article.

Key words:

language and content, CLIL, foreign language curriculum.
