Content and language integrated learning (CLIL)<ref>[http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/knowledge-wiki/clil British Council BBC Teaching English Website]</ref><ref>http://ec.europa.eu/education/languages/language-teaching/doc236_en.htm</ref> is a method of teaching school subjects in a foreign language, thus teaching both the subject and the language. It has many synonyms such as bilingual education, content based instruction, English (or other languages) as medium of instruction.<ref>http://www.onestopenglish.com/section.asp?catid=100294&docid=501038</ref>

[[Content-based instruction]] (CBI) is a similar approach. The term CLIL is more common in [[Europe]], although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
