Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): A Methodology of Bilingual Teaching

“Taking basic knowledge about Bilingual Learning as a starting point, Bernd Klewitz discusses newer and newest findings about CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in a comprehensive, but nevertheless evidence-based way. He does not limit his explanations to well-documented new findings in the field of bilingual language teaching and learning but introduces aspects that, until now, have not gained due momentum in CLIL. Above all, he shows the important role that literature (in the target languages) could play in order to increase students’ motivation and foster the position of literary texts in foreign and second language learning. Another great merit of Klewitz’ book consists in the author’s practical approach: wherever possible, Bernd Klewitz takes the opportunity to deepen scientific findings with examples based on his own experience as a teacher of CLIL.”—Hamish McKenzie, MA, National Trust for Scotland
