Do you speak English?... Yes, I do!

Strong interest in implementing bilingual education (in its various forms) has been evident throughout the European Union since the early '90s.

The need to overcome Europe's "Tower of Babel" syndrome, resulted in 1994 in the development of a methodological basis for systematizing teaching and learning. The document, abbreviated as CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), defines a dual-focus approach to language teaching - a second language is used to learn and teach both the subject and the language. In other words, students acquire knowledge not "in English," but through English. The language is both a tool for deepening knowledge and an end in itself - a skill that students improve systematically and in passing, so to speak.
