What are the aims of CLIL? 
While different programs and classes will of course have their own individual 
goals, broadly speaking, all CLIL programs aim to increase students’ subject-area 
knowledge while at the same time improving their knowledge of and skills in the 
target language. In addition, students should improve their own ability to learn and 
come to understand and appreciate a new culture. In conclusion, students should 
not lose ground in their native language. They are adding a new language, not 
replacing the one they already know. 
How does CLIL fit into bilingual education?
Think of bilingual education — education involving two languages — as a 
broad field that can encompass different programs and approaches. Some of the 
other main approaches share some features with CLIL, although they have 
differences as well. Here are some of the most common approaches that you might 
hear about and how they are similar to and different from CLIL. 
CBI 
CBI,
which stands for Content-Based Instruction, refers to learning about a 
subject using the target language. Some people say that 
CLIL
is a type of 
CBI
, 
although in a true 
CLIL
program, there is a stronger emphasis on the content. In a 
CBI
course, students might use a textbook with a unit about history, then a unit 
about communication, then a unit about economics, and so on. But the history 
teacher would not be teaching in English at the same time. 
ESP 
ESP,
which stands for English for Specific Purposes, teaches students the 
vocabulary and functions they need for certain fields. Often it is job- or career-

---

focused. Example courses include English for Hospitality Workers or English for 
Air Traffic Controllers etc. 
EMI 
EMI, which stands for English as the Medium of Instruction, refers to 
language immersion courses where all instruction occurs in the target language. 
This covers everything from language immersion summer camps to international 
schools that conduct all of their classes in the target language, where students either 
must demonstrate proficiency in the target language to be admitted or, if their level 
is low, seek out additional instruction or tutoring. Unlike a CLIL approach, EMI 
programs discourage the use of students’ native language. 
Who is CLIL suited for?
