The CLIL Approach
A Practical Guide for Teachers Who Want to Bring CLIL to Life
The CLIL Approach is my new practical handbook designed for teachers who want to understand, implement and improve Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in their classrooms. The content of this book comes directly from real classroom practice and from the training course I delivered to teachers using CLIL in different subjects. So every chapter is based on what actually works with real teachers, not just theory.
As CLIL becomes more widely adopted in schools across Europe and beyond, many teachers are looking for a clear, simple and real guide — not just theory, but ready-to-use tools. That's exactly what The CLIL Approach offers. Further info
What makes this CLIL book different?
✅ Clear explanation of CLIL theory in simple language, perfect for teachers of any subject
✅ The 4Cs framework (Content, Cognition, Communication, Culture) explained with examples
✅ Cognitive Thinking pyramid based on Bloom's revised taxonomy
✅ HOTS & LOTS for cognitive thinking training & development
✅ Practical lesson templates and planning models
✅ Scaffolding strategies for helping students understand and use the target language
✅ Real classroom ideas for primary and secondary levels
✅ Space for your personal notes and reflections
✅ Ready-to-use forms and practice tasks to apply the CLIL approach in real life
It’s not a book full of abstract theory — it’s a book you can actually use while planning your lessons.
