The multi-faceted effects of CLIL: a literature review

In the past few years, research has been trying to keep pace with the exponential growth of CLIL programmes, which has made the body of literature on the field increase significantly, both adapting to a cross-contextual array of aspects —such as the impact of this approach on language learning, content learning, motivations, translanguaging, code-switching, or pluriliteracies— and considering previously identified deficiencies. With this in mind, this article aims at canvassing a new literature review on the multi-faceted effects of CLIL in order to both classify the existing sizeable number of studies and bridge them to the state of the art and the identification of future research agendas.
