BALANCING CRITICAL THINKING AND CLIL METHODOLOGY: PATHWAYS TO EFFECTIVE LEARNING
Main Article Content
Abstract:
The integration of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has become a widely adopted pedagogical approach, particularly in multilingual education settings. This article explores the synergy between CLIL and the development of critical thinking skills, advocating for a balanced methodology to enhance both content acquisition and cognitive development. The study argues that the combined use of CLIL and critical thinking promotes deeper engagement with subject matter, fosters higher-order cognitive skills, and prepares students for complex problem-solving in both academic and real-world contexts.
