11/19/06 5Steve Darn How does CLIL work? Knowledge of the language becomes the means of learning content Language is integrated into the broad curriculum. Learning is improved through increased motivation. CLIL is based on language acquisition rather than learning. Language is seen in real-life situations in which students can acquire the language. This is natural language development. CLIL is long-term learning. Students become academically proficient in English after 5-7 years in a good bilingual program. Fluency is more important than accuracy. Learners develop fluency by using English to communicate for a variety of purposes. Reading is the essential skill.

Originally work clothes, they became popular among teenagers starting in the 1950s. Historic brands include Levi's and Wrangler. Today Jeans are a very popular form of casual dress around the world and come in many styles and colors. The earliest known pre-cursor for jeans is the Indian export of a thick cotton cloth, in the 16th century, known as dungaree. Dyed in indigo, it was sold near the Dongarii Fort near Mumbai. Jeans were first created in Genoa. The first denim came from Nîmes, France.trousers denimclothesteenagers 1950sLevi'sWranglerdungareeindigoMumbaiGenoaNîmes
