Content and Language Integrated Learning, commonly abbreviated CLIL, is an approach in which a non-language school subject, such as history or science, is taught through a second language, so that students learn subject content and the language simultaneously rather than in separate courses. The term was coined in Europe in 1994, and CLIL programs are now widespread across European Union school systems in particular, supported by European Commission language-policy initiatives.
