CLIL is complex and context-sensitive.
There are general parameters for CLIL.
These are: Cognition, Culture, Content, Communication.
Coyle et al. (2010) suggest that these multiple outcomes of CLIL should target 4Cs: content, communication, cognition, and culture.
Content addresses the knowledge students should gain from a lesson, and communication could be connected to language outcomes.
The 4Cs of CLIL phrase Content, communication, cognition and culture (Coyle, 1999).
These are interrelated components of CLIL and make up the 4Cs Framework.
Culture is also linked to citizenship and community.
Theory noun A set of ideas which explains something, e.g. a mathematical or scientific theory.
