Abstract

One of the most popular and successful methods of integrated learning is the CLIL (content and language integrated learning) approach, which is utilized all around the world. The definition of this phrase, which was first used by Marsh, is the arrangement of the educational process so that subjects or their components are taught in the English language, with the dual objective of teaching language and content simultaneously. The theoretical and practical significance of using CLIL technology in today's educational setting, as well as its relevance to the emerging concerns of our day, account for the research's relevance. One special tool that enables students to put their knowledge and abilities into practice from an early stage of learning an English language is the active introduction of new educational technology, like CLIL. In fact, teaching English through interdisciplinary connections caters to students' interests and gives them the opportunity to consider their unique traits and preferences. This fosters the best environment for language use as a communication tool and lays the groundwork for the child's future professional self-determination.
