Summary: Teaching content through a foreign language (CLIL, Content and Language Integrated Learning) is a 1990's newcomer in Europe. So far, there are a number of implementations around, but there is no established pedagogy targeting at the language of learning and teaching, and assessing language learning in CLIL.

The objectives of the LICI (Language in Content Instruction) project are to develop language learning and teaching in CLIL by producing a principled and pedagogical model and a set of outputs based on the model. The LICI outputs are based on the model and they consist of: teaching materials (CD-ROMs) for teaching social sciences and science at primary (CEFR levels A1 - A2) and secondary level (B1- B2), and third level sociology, science and marketing (B1 - C1), a teacher's and trainer's handbook, and a website for dissemination and discussion during project life and after.

The target languages are DE, EN and FR, and for some materials also FI, IT,LT and HU. The products will be used by students, content and/or language teachers and teacher trainers. The project activities consist of discussion and modification of the model > design of materials >piloting materials and publication of drafts> modifications > final products > publication.
