CBI and CLIL classroom
CBI
Content-Based Instruction
-
-
Core Principles
The content-based curriculum removes the arbitrary distinction between language and content.
It reflects the interest and needs of the learner by taking into consideration the eventual uses the learner will make of the second or foreign language
It holds sustained content as necessary for providing authentic, meaningful substance for students to acquire language.
It views comprehensible input as necessary but not sufficient for the development of high-level academic language proficiency.
CLIL
Content and Language Integrated Learning
Objectives
Content
Multiple perspectives for study, e.g. modules in history where authentic texts are used in different languages.
Preparing for future studies, e.g. modules that focus on ICT which incorporate international lexis.
Skills for working life, e.g. courses that deal with academic study skills equipping learners for further study.
-
Language
Improving overall target language competence, e.g. through extended quality exposure to the CLIL language.
Developing oral communication skills, e.g. through offering a wider range of authentic communication routes.
Deepening awareness of both first languages and CLIL languages, e.g. schools that offer 50% of the curriculum in other languages.
Developing self-confidence as a language learner and communicator, e.g. practical and authentic language scenarios such as vocational settings.

Core Principles
Content matter is not only about acquiring knowledge and skills, it is about the learner creating their own knowledge.
Content is related to learning and thinking processes (cognition).
The language learned needs to be related to the learning context, to learning through that language. It needs to be transparent and accessible.
Interaction in the language context is fundamental to learning.
The relationship between languages and cultures is complex. Intercultural awareness is fundamental to CLIL.
CLIL is embedded in the wider educatioal context in which it is developed and therefore must take account of contextual variables (such as the overall goals of the curriculum) in order to be effectively realized
