Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an innovative approach that combines language learning with subject matter instruction, allowing students to acquire English skills while engaging with various disciplines such as science, mathematics, and history. This method enhances cognitive development, promotes deeper understanding, and fosters multilingual competence. From a psychological perspective, CLIL aligns with Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory and cognitive load theory, emphasizing meaningful learning and scaffolding techniques. The integration of content and language strengthens motivation, enhances critical thinking, and supports long-term retention. This paper explores the educational benefits of CLIL, highlighting its significance in fostering holistic learning and improving both linguistic and cognitive abilities.
