Short description:

Divided into six sections, covering language and language teaching, core themes and issues, contexts and learners, CLIL in practice, CLIL around the world and a final section looking forward to future research directions, every chapter provides a balanced discussion of the benefits, challenges and implications of this approach.

Long description:

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is an increasingly popular educational approach given its dual focus on enabling learners to acquire subject-matter through an additional language, while learning this second language in tandem with content. This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of recent CLIL developments, illustrating how CLIL has been uniquely conceptualised and practised across educational and geographical contexts.

Divided into six sections, covering language and language teaching, core topics and issues, contexts and learners, CLIL in practice, CLIL around the world, and a final section looking forward to future research directions, every chapter provides a balanced discussion of the benefits, challenges and implications of this approach. Representing the same diversity and intercultural understanding that CLIL features, the chapters are authored by established as well as early-career academics based around the world.

The Routledge Handbook of Content and Language Integrated Learning is the essential guide to CLIL for advanced students and researchers of applied linguistics, education and TESOL.

Capturing the multifaceted nature of CLIL, this Handbook spans levels of education and linguistic, geographical and socio-political contexts. It is a timely synthesis of CLIL research and practice, with perceptive insights for future development. This comprehensive handbook will be a valuable resource for CLIL researchers and teachers alike.

-- Tarja Nikula, University of Jyväskylä, Finland

With its impressive range of topics covered by leading scholars in CLIL, this Handbook will be a crucial and valuable source of relevant knowledge and cutting-edge thinking, and a treasured resource for students, researchers, teacher educators and last, but far from least, teachers engaged in bilingual education.
