TEACH IT IN ENGLISH! IMPLEMENTING ENGLISH IN TH...

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has recently gained great popularity in German
schools. Reports of teachers and pupils indicate that in bilingual lessons foreign language
learning is perceived to be less artificial and far more motivating than in traditional
language teaching. In contrast to conventional language learning CLIL emphasises subject
specific contents. Although many teachers are not sure in which way English as predominant
medium of instruction should be taught  most of the rather experimental attempts to do so are
reported to be successful. Nevertheless  in some German states there neither is a curriculum 
nor are there any recommendations specifically developed on the needs of different subjects
taught in the integrated way. CLIL requires teachers to be strongly committed and to invest
extra time and work to turn this relatively new concept into a success. But what is their
motivation for establishing such learning environments? To find out about some of the reasons
why CLIL is currently so successful in German schools  I examine the example of political
education in Saxony and the extra benefits of CLIL when being taught in English.
