OBSERVATIONS

Learner Issues: Particularly common developing self-confidence alongside motivation

School-based Issues: Introduction of CLIL for this purpose is usually a short-term action which is followed by replacement of another priority aim

Methodological Issues: Particularly suitable for small-scale modules/projects

For example, after-school clubs may offer this type of programme for younger learners so as to prepare them for future language lessons, or maintaining target language competence already attained through exposure to CLIL
