Roles of teachers in CBI and CLIL

Sure! In simple terms, teachers play a very important role in Content-Based Instruction (CBI) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). In CBI, teachers help students learn new information and skills while also improving their language abilities. For example, a science teacher might teach a lesson on photosynthesis in English to help students improve their English language skills while learning about plants. In CLIL, teachers teach a subject, like math or history, using a foreign language. This helps students become proficient in both the subject and the language. For example, a history teacher might teach about the French Revolution in French to help students learn the language while also learning about history. One verifiable fact is that research has shown that students who participate in CBI and CLIL programs often show significant improvements in both their language skills and their understanding of the subject matter.
