This article provides information on the key dimensions of English language
teaching.
Key words:
The European CLIL, the Culture Dimension, the Environment Dimension, the
Language Dimension, the Learning Dimension, Communicative
The European CLIL Compendium has presented the various reasons for implementing CLIL
under five key dimensions involving culture, environment, language, content and learning. The
schools can decide freely which dimensions will be given more emphasis than others and which
learning and development outcomes their CLIL programmes focus on. The dimensions of CLIL
are:
The Culture Dimension: building intercultural knowledge and undestanding, developing inter-
cultural communication skills, learning about specific countries, regions and/or minority groups,
introducing the wider cultural context.
The Environment Dimension: prepare for internationalization, access international certifica-
tion, enhance school profile.
The Language Dimension: improve overall target language competence, develop oral commu-
nication skills, deepen awareness of both mother tongue and the target language, develop pluri-
lingual interests and attitudes, introduce a target language, allow learners more contact with the
target language. The Content Dimension: provide opportunities to study content through different
perspectives, access subject-specific target language terminology, prepare for future studies or
working life.
The Learning Dimension: complement individual learning strategies, diversify methods and
forms of classroom practice, increase learner motivation and confidence in both the language and
the subject being taught.
Immersion and CLIL: The Main Differences. Immersion education and CLIL have similar goals
and methods, but they differ in three main respects. First, a pre-requisite for successful immersion
is a society that enables the learners to become functional bilinguals and in which the first language
of the learners has a strong position. Basically, this applies to societies with two official or main
languages. This is not a pre-requisite for CLIL. Second, in immersion education the learners learn
to read and write in the immersion language, whereas in CLIL they learn to read and write in their
first language. Third, in immersion classes approximately 50% of the teaching and learning dis-
course should take place in the immersion language while in CLIL the minimum requisite is only
25%. Moreover, immersion has well established methodological principles and goals whereas
CLIL is an umbrella term for various educational models and goals, including immersion itself.
These differences considered, the term that best describes the educational model followed by
the informants of this study is CLIL: the foreign language content varies between 30—50% per
day and the pupils learn basic literacy skills in Uzbek.
The pupils do not need to speak or write English before commencing the programme, but their
language aptitude is tested before they are admitted to the programme to ensure that they are able
to undertake the programme. Pupils are, thus, selected on the basis of their score in the language
aptitude test. Involving both an underlying language learning capacity and the capacity to handle
decontextualized language, language aptitude has been found to be one of the best predictors of L2
learning. Studying in both Finnish and English typically means much extra work and challenges
for the pupil as well as requires ample support from parents. Practically, all CLIL pupils speak or
at least understand Finnish at the start of the programme even if their first language is something
