CLIL is an educational approach in which an extra langauge is used to learn and to teach subject matter as well as language. The main aim of this dissertation is to contribute to a better understanding of the nature and range of pedagogies employed by CLIL teachers and build the knowledge base about CLIL pedagogy and practice. It seeks to contribute to bridging the existing gap between greatly expanded CLIL practice and more limited CLIL research.
