Teaching Science through English – A CLIL Approach

# data[].attributes.body
Well, from my point of view regarding CLIL methodology I think it is a new and interesting way to teach science because it helps to learn both the content and the language at the same time, although it can be a bit difficult for both teachers and students, it allows to learn useful things about science and also to improve English. In addition, it helps to develop skills that can be used in real life.
