Content and language integrated learning as a means of encouraging students’ motivation at English classes

Abstract

Content and language integrated learning is considered as a new methodological approach that has become the centre of attention in ELT community in Ukraine as well as in the world. Content and language integrated learning supports combining the academic content of non-linguistic subjects with a foreign language, which promotes gaining content knowledge and using the target language at the same time. It involves methodological techniques and strategies which instead of dealing particularly with teaching of the language itself, motivates teachers and students to use the language as a means of communication. In this way this approach promotes language and content development in the process.
