What is and isn't unique about CLIL?


The CLIL approach encourages teachers to keep using 
their favourite strategies, but also is key to bare in mind the three essentials: 
CONTENT; LANGUAGE and LEARNING SKILLS. 

Thus, CLIL is more likely to require a modification in daily classroom practice. 

It is important to take into account the practice inside the class 
but also teaching and learning strategies.

We can find difficulties when trying to teach languages through a content, 
but in the same way content teachers find difficulties 
when they have to teach a language in particular.

This does not mean it is impossible. 

The real challenge is to find a way in which content can be delivered 
using a language as a vehicle.  
Co-operation and skill exchange among language and content teachers 
is the main strategy for implementing CLIL. 
This will imply the need of time and agreement in order to find 
and reach the best teaching strategies and activities for the students.
