Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in medicine programs in higher education

Abstract

This thesis explores the ways in which Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) with English can be implemented in medicine programs for higher education. This teaching approach emphasizes learning content while simultaneously developing language skills and promoting an effective motivational learning arrangement whilst occupational language skills and knowledge of interest are acquired. The necessity for students of medicine to have a certain proficiency of English and how they can be supported in improving their language skills is discussed.
