This book received the XV Research Award of the Spanish Association of Applied Linguistics (XV Premio de Investigación de la Asociación Española de Lingüística Aplicada) 2012.
The present volume bears witness to the Europewide character of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) enterprise by featuring contributions from researchers and teacher-educators from a range of European countries spanning the geographical expanse of the continent from east (Estonia) to west (United Kingdom) and from north (Finland) to south (Spain, Italy). More importantly, the different national contexts are characterised by diverse cultural stances and policies vis-à-vis second and foreign language learning in general and learning specific languages in particular and it is evident that such contextual factors impinge on what are identified as central concerns both in CLIL implementation and research.

«Content and Foreign Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) teachers and researchers are in luck with this new volume published by Peter Lang. They will all find good reasons to justify it is worth working on CLIL projects. The articles inside create an oasis in the middle of the desert, a mirror to look themselves into and see others with the same difficulties but also satisfactory results, and a wide range of ideas for further research and study on the field.» (Ana María Saorín Iborra, Ibérica)
