CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is an approach to English teaching that falls within the broader framework of Content-Based Instruction (CBI). Rather than focusing on isolated grammar or vocabulary, it engages students through meaningful content. CLIL classes offer several advantages, including real-world relevance, deeper cognitive engagement, and enhanced linguistic salience—all of which support second language acquisition (SLA). In addition, CLIL often has a positive impact on learner motivation. Assessment in CBI classes, particularly in the age of AI, also presents important considerations.
