Introduction The present book has been written by a teacher of chemistry and English in bilingual (PolishEnglish) classes. The teacher’s professional experience has allowed her to observe that, despite a general concern that students who learn a school subject in a foreign language cannot possibly acquire the same amount of content as their peers learning in a more “conventional” way (Dalton-Puffer, 2007), implementing CLIL on a regular basis does not lead to any deficiencies in content acquisition. Various forms of bilingualism have been present in Europe for several millennia and CLIL has become the solution for devoting more time to foreign language learning in European schools. Mehisto and Marsh (2008: 9) explain that CLIL is “a dual- focused educational approach in which an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both content and language”. Since each school curriculum is already crowded, it is a perfect idea to combine learning content and language at the same time (European Commission, 2002). In this bo
