CLIL - DefiniceCLIL involves students learning subjects such as science or geography through the medium of a foreign language. Other related terms include ‘Content-based instruction', ‘English across the curriculum', and ‘Bilingual education'. CLIL is sometimes referred to as dual-focused education as lessons have two main aims, one related to a particular subject or topic and one linked to language.'

Text A: Who were the Celts?
The Celts arrived in Ireland about 600 years before the birth of Christ, approximately 2600 years ago. They came from Central Europe in particular areas around The Rhine and The Danube. The Celts knew how to make strong weapons from iron. The people living in Ireland before the Celts came did not know about iron. They only used bronze to make their weapons. Bronze is not as strong as iron and so the Celts could overcome and overpower people easily. From iron, the Celts also made tools which they used for farming. With these tools, they cleared the land of trees. They used iron ploughs to plough the land, then they sowed crops of oats, wheat and barley. They grew grass for feeding their cattle and sheep. They also kept pigs. They were well known as excellent farmers.
