This from the BBC website this morning.

I am an ex-geographer working in a languages department. 'Content and Language Integrated Learning' (CLIL) is often seen as something positive by those in modern languages , but I have never heard any response to it from geographers or historians (the main subjects selected for CLIL). I wondered what those teaching geography in universities think? Could this lead to linguistically competent geography undergrads or could this turn pupils off geography and history in schools?
Any thoughts?
