In classrooms on all populated continents of the world, learners are engaged in learning content in a language that they do not speak at home. Depending on where you are, you may know this as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) or under another name.

Through such approaches, learners develop as language users but also have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and to grow as global citizens. In these uncertain and even tumultuous times, having the knowledge, skills and attitudes to communicate across and within cultures and communities has never been more important.

Against this backdrop and in the spirit of strengthening our own international community, the World CLIL 2022 conference aims to bring together teachers, policy-makers and researchers from diverse cultural, linguistic and professional backgrounds.
