“…These data are in line with the findings of previous studies having revealed CLIL student's higher performance in the target language (Dalton-Puffer & Smit, 2008;Korosidou & Griva, 2013;Maillat, 2010;Moore, 2009). Concerning content-knowledge, it was showed that students tended to have improved their knowledge in relation to citizenship and raised their sensitivity to diversity which aligns with the findings of previous studies (Griva & Kasvikis, 2015;Gimeno, Ó Dónaill, & Zygmantaite, 2013;Kiraz et al, 2010).…”

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a project entitled "It's the same world through different eyes", which was based on the principles of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach and was piloted with 4th primary school grade students. More specifically, we employed a dual-focused approach, focusing equally on English language and content development. For the purpose of the project, we designed a mini-syllabus with the stories being at the core of the design. The objectives of the project were to: a) develop the students’ skills in EFL, b) develop their sensitivity towards diversity, c)enhance their citizenship awareness. Students were provided with opportunities to express themselves verbally and non-verbally, and participate in a variety of creative activities in a multimodal teaching context. The findings of project evaluation indicated students’ improvement regarding both their receptive and productive skills in the target language, and the development of children’s citizenship awareness and their sensitivity towards diversity.

“…In this paper, the pilot CLIL project was implemented in an EFL primary school classroom with the purpose to enhance students' knowledge about aspects of Byzantine art and culture as well to develop foreign language skills. In such a context, young learners practiced language and content in a natural way, dealing with multi-modal literacies ( Short et al, 1996).They were also given stimuli and opportunities for creativity and participation in a game-based context, where they realized that learning a foreign language can be more than a boring process (see Korosidou & Griva, 2013).…”

The purpose of the present study is to provide insights into experimental research on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) for developing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) skills and aspects of Byzantine history and culture in the context of Greek primary education. It aims at a) developing a CLIL project with a focus on Byzantine and post Byzantine history and culture for 6 th primary school students; b) investigating the effects of CLIL on students' skills performance after a total of 30 teaching sessions intervention; c) identifying whether CLIL instruction develops a more positive attitude towards FL and content learning. A multimodal and multisensory learning environment was created in order to support and enhance language skills and content knowledge. In such a context, students were encouraged to use language creatively through getting involved in communicative, problem-solving and inquiry-based activities. The positive effects of the project were indicated, particularly on students' communicative skills. Also gains were recorded in relation to students' enhancement of content knowledge and skills, as well their positive attitude towards FL and content learning.

“…Po mnenju E. Korosidou in E. Griva (2014: 240 -242) se pristop vsebinsko in jezikovno integriranega učenja (CLIL -angl. Content and language integrated learning) izvaja že dve desetletji z dokazano pozitivnimi učinki na jezikovne spretnosti učencev drugega/tujega jezika (Korosidou in Griva, 2013;Lasagabaster, 2008;Zydatiss, 2007). Pristop CLIL se osredotoča predvsem na jezik, vsebino in učne spretnosti (Mehisto et al 2008) ter lahko prispeva k uspešnim rezultatom, če se uporablja tako pri zgodnjem poučevanju jezikov kot pri učenju jezikov odraslih (Eurydice Report, 2006).…”
