Summary of the six quality principles
proposed in the document.

Six fundamental quality principles for content and
language integrated learning (CLIL).

Rich input:
Materials must be meaningful, challenging and authentic. This encourages the
acquisition of foreign languages through content that connects with global problems

and students' interests.
Multimodal mediation:
Provide a variety of media and distribute them equally throughout the CLIL unit,
allowing for different learning styles to be accommodated and diverse language skills to
be activated.
Task design:
Tasks should promote cognition and communication. Attention should be paid to output
scaffolding to help students produce language effectively.
Topic selection:
Planning a CLIL unit begins with content selection, focusing on the specific needs of the
topic and how it can connect to students' daily lives.
Study skills:
Emphasize the development of study and learning skills, promoting spiral learning that
revisits and expands previously learned concepts.
CLIL Review:
Finish the unit with a review of the key elements of content and language, ensuring that
students can reflect and consolidate what they have learned.
