Summary/Abstract: Globalisation processes worldwide, including Europe, have particularly led to the situation where learning one second language as a foreign language may not be enough to succeed in professional or academic activities in the future. Therefore, the focus of educators has shifted from the traditional model “learn a language now – practice later” to more interactive and engaging ways of teaching. One of “teaching by doing” methods that facilitate teaching of a language and a subject at the same time, is called Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) – an educational approach that puts emphasis on teaching a subject through the medium of a second language thus improving both language and subject learning.
