This volume brings a much-needed critical perspective on CLIL as a global educational phenomenon. It is refreshing and challenging to those already involved in CLIL research and opens up new lines of enquiry for researchers who wish to examine critically how CLIL in its spread around the world may contribute to exacerbating, rather than ameliorating, social inequality. -Tom Morton, Universidad Autónoma de MadridThis first book-length critical account of Content and Language Integrated Learning offers a necessary, groundbreaking, and absolutely fascinating perspective on the various challenges generated by one of the most popular language education initiatives of the last decades. Incisive, thought-provoking, and brimming with real-life action, this book is a must-read for any scholar interested in the day-to-day affordances and effects of contemporary language education policy.Jürgen Jaspers, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)
