Integration of web applications into content and language integrated learning (CLIL) programmes in higher education: Ukrainian context

Abstract

The study analyses the impact of web-based applications on the effectiveness of content and language-integrated learning (CLIL) in higher education in the context of globalisation and the growing role of multilingualism in the European Union. The study aimed to determine the impact of web-based applications on developing students' language competencies and their involvement in the learning process in CLIL. To achieve this goal, a systematic review of the scientific literature published in leading scientific databases from 2019 to 2024 was conducted. The study's results demonstrate that integrating web-based applications into the CLIL teaching process has a positive impact on students' language skills development and increases their motivation to learn. However, successfully implementing web technologies requires special training and adaptation to the learning environment. The study's findings emphasise the importance of further studying web applications' potential in the context of CLIL and developing effective strategies for integrating them into the educational process.
