Specifikacia Content and Language Integrated Learning CLIL: A Methodology of Bilingual Teaching
Learning foreign languages is a process of acquiring authentic contents in cultural contexts. In this respect, bilingual programs provide an effective connection between content-based studies and linguistic activities.
