What is CLIL?
 * Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)  is nowadays the umbrella term that describes both learning another (content) subject through the medium of a foreign language and learning a foreign language by studying a content-based subject.
 *  The principles behind Content and Language Integrated Learning include global statements such as all teachers are teachers of language //(1)// and that language is used to learn as well as to communicate. The focus is on content and the language skills develop almost incidentally: language is the // tool // t hrough which subject content is learnt
