Presentation Bilingual education in Spain: A critical look at current trends

Abstract

Bilingual education in Spain, also called CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) or CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), has become a revolution in recent decades. Since the term was coined in the 1990s, CLIL has gone from being a way of increasing students' exposure to foreign or additional languages to becoming a social phenomenon based on a pragmatic approach that renews classroom practice (Ting, 2011).
