Assignment: Consider the various caveats expressed about CLIL in section 5.6 entitled 'Some problems'. Take these points and any others that you wish to consider from the whole subject and use them to form either a defence or a repudiation of the notion that 'CLIL is the approach for the future'. This must take the form of an appraisal of CLIL, in which you must consider the arguments and the materials that you have seen in this subject, and then balance these with perspectives gathered from your own teaching experience. Most importantly of all, you must organise these points into a coherent essay. Please avoid taking the points one by one, as if you were simply appraising a list. Try to look at the issue from both a local and an international perspective, and also try to consider CLIL from both a practical and a philosophical viewpoint. Will it enable us to teach languages better? Perhaps. Will it enable you (in your context) to teach languages better? Perhaps not. But the latter is not a total repudiation of CLIL. Try to give the defendant a fair trial! IS CLIL THE APPROACH FOR THE FUTURE?
