Other advantages are the internationalization and preparing for study and work.

For myself, I attended a CLIL project extracurricular as a teacher, aimed at primary school pupils and I was able to ascertain the various advantages of this method.

Mark Twain was born Samuel Clemens in the southern United States, in Florida in 1835, but he grew up in Hannibal, Missouri. He spent his childhood in a river town on the Mississippi River. This environment was the main source for some of his best known novels such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). When he was twelve, his father died and he had to give up school to work as a printer’s apprentice. His pen name, “Mark Twain,” means safe waters, a phrase used by Mississippi boatmen. His best books are considered to be skillful re-creations of American life at that time. Clemens died in 1910, but Mark Twain is still remembered as one of America’s greatest writers.
