clil: content and language integrated learning

More and more schools across the Continent and beyond are integrating English into other subjects:

For example, in the Basque Country, the aim is to have school students become 'trilingual':
Humanising Language Teaching Magazine for teachers and teacher trainers
Towards Multilingual Education: Basque Educational Research from an ... - Jasone Cenoz - Google Books
FACT - Basque, CLIL, Content and Language, Content and Language Integrated Learning, Bilingual Education, FACTWorld

There's a lot more help out there than there used to be:
CLIL: A lesson framework | TeachingEnglish | British Council | BBC
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
Thinking skills for CLIL | Onestopenglish

And there's a lot of help out there for specific groups/countries:
Immersion and CLIL in Switzerland: An interview with Eveline Reichel | Onestopenglish
CLIL / Immersion Switzerland - home

Enllaços d'interès | CLIL

CLIL - Content and Language Integrated Learning - Goethe-Institut

There have been projects where it has been tried, but the debate is still going on as to the effectiveness of CLIL:
