Review paper

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) plays an increasingly important role in language education, both as a feature of foreign language teaching and learning, and as an element of bilingual and plurilingual education. As learners develop their language competences, they are able to deal with evermore complex topics, so teaching material needs to offer learners interesting and challenging subject matter. One way to do this is through CLIL where language and subject teachers work together; language teachers acquire subject knowledge and subject teachers acquire expertise in combining language development with teaching the content effectively. Recent developments in CLIL have focused more specifically on academic illiteracies as well as on the use of CLIL approaches in the teaching of the language of schooling/majority language. So, this paper intended to examine the argument on the focus of language syllabus to be content or language.

Key Words: Language Syllabus, Content, Language, and CAIL
