How does CLIL work?How does CLIL work? Knowledge of the language becomes the means of learning

content Language is integrated into the broad curriculum. Learning is improved through increased motivation. CLIL is based on language acquisition rather than learning. Language is seen in real-life situations in which students can

acquire the language. This is natural language development. CLIL is long-term learning. Students become academically

proficient in English after 5-7 years in a good bilingual program.

Fluency is more important than accuracy. Learners develop fluency by using English to communicate for a variety of purposes.

Reading is the essential skill.

An interactive textAn interactive text Jeans are trousers traditionally made from

denim, but may also be made from a variety of fabrics including cotton and corduroy. Originally work clothes, they became popular among teenagers starting in the 1950s. Historic brands include Levi's and Wrangler. Today Jeans are a very popular form of casual dress around the world and come in many styles and colors. The earliest known pre-cursor for jeans is the Indian export of a thick cotton cloth, in the 16th century, known as dungaree. Dyed in indigo, it was sold near the Dongarii Fort near Mumbai. Jeans were first created in Genoa. The first denim came from Nîmes, France.

A student generated textA student generated text Levi's® is a brand of riveted denim jeans

manufactured by Levi Strauss & Co. It is thought that Levi Strauss sold his first jeans to gold miners during the California Gold Rush. Modern jeans began to appear in the 1920s. By the 1990s, the brand was facing competition from other brands and cheaper products from places like China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.

In 2000, the "Launderette" advertisement for Levi's 501s was named the 6th best television commercial ever. The advertisement featured the song I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye.

The new RedWire DLX Jeans will have iPod remote control fitted in its pockets, and comes complete with attached headphones. A pair will cost $200.
