Abstract

In recent years, ELT practitioners have been concerned about learning as well as the development of learning skills among students. Researchers continue to focus their attention towards the innovative—but not new— insights in terms of turning traditional education towards a more real, useful, motivating, and shared task. Yet educators often find themselves in frustrating situations in the classroom, due to inadequate approach- es or methodologies, which in turn limit the success of the teaching and learning process. Nowadays, learners need to be challenged but also pre- pared for what is outside the classroom: the real world, where the roles of both teachers and students are quite different than before. CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) not only promotes life-long learning skills for learners but also flexibility and a new way of looking at educa- tion as a whole, providing learners with specific training that could ulti- mately benefit their learning process.
