ABSTRACT

This paper compares the CLIL teaching models in China and the UK, taking the first English textbook of Grade 6 of the Shandong Education Press Edition (SEPE) as an example. CLIL teaching integrates content and language learning, and fosters students' interdisciplinary competence and language proficiency. There is room for improvement in domestic teaching in terms of the degree of subject integration, teachers' roles and learning strategies. British teaching focuses on cultivating students' disciplinary awareness and innovative thinking, with remarkable results. This paper puts forward suggestions to improve the degree of subject integration in domestic CLIL teaching, cultivate teachers' professional development and students' learning strategies, and draw on the successful experience of the UK to promote education reform. Through comparative analyses, it aims to provide inspiration and reference for the reform of domestic CLIL teaching, and to promote students' comprehensive development and cross-cultural communication.
