Content
Learners develop subject knowledge, skills, and understanding through meaningful and relevant topics.

Cognition
Learners engage in critical thinking, problem-solving, and conceptual development.

Communication
Language is both a learning tool and a learning goal. Learners use subject-specific language in context.

Culture
Learners develop intercultural awareness, valuing diversity and understanding global perspectives.

The 4Cs provide the foundation for planning and delivering integrated lessons where language and content grow together.

1. Rich Input
Use authentic, multimodal resources that are intellectually engaging and age-appropriate.

2. Scaffolding Learning
Support learners progressively using visuals, sentence frames, organizers, and guided steps.

3. Rich Interaction & Pushed Output
Encourage students to speak, write, and interact in meaningful ways, going beyond their comfort zone.

4. Intercultural Dimension
Promote curiosity, empathy, and awareness of different cultures and identities.

5. Higher Order Thinking (H.O.T.)
Design activities that move beyond remembering to analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

6. Sustainable Learning
Foster long-term learning using reflection tools, metacognitive strategies, and student portfolios.

These principles ensure that CLIL teaching is not just effective, but transformative.

✔ Choose a topic:
Relevant, motivating, and connected to the learners' real world.

✔ Select rich, multimodal input:
Use images, videos, diagrams, texts, simulations, etc.

✔ Plan meaningful tasks:
Include collaborative projects, problem-solving, experiments, and presentations.

✔ Scaffold both input and output:
Offer visual aids, glossaries, writing frames, models, and gradual support.

✔ Evaluate learning through CLIL Workout:
Focus on both content knowledge and language use, encouraging feedback and self-assessment.

Good CLIL materials make students think, talk, do, and reflect.

Meyer (2013) introduces the CLIL Pyramid as a practical planning model that supports teachers in developing high-quality lessons.

The 5 planning steps are:

Define goals: Language and content objectives.

Select rich input: Stimulating and multimodal materials.

Design output tasks: Speaking, writing, creating, presenting.

Plan scaffolding: For both content and language.

Evaluate & reflect: Use feedback tools and higher-order questions.

This pyramid helps teachers structure lessons that are coherent, student-centered, and cognitively engaging.

Teaching through CLIL is not just about language or science it's about creating learners who think, communicate, and connect with the world.

CLIL empowers students to grow as bilingual, critical, and globally aware learners.
