This guide presents some practical orientations with the aim to facilitate using the Content and Language Integrated
Learning (CLIL) approach in the Physical Education (PE) area. This document is divided into four sections. The first one
identifies the nature and basic characteristics of the CLIL in PE model. Next, the second section introduces 14 guiding
principles to apply CLIL in PE. In order to put these guiding principles into practice, the third section describes the PE CLIL
teacher profile as well as some teaching and learning implications together with examples to show practical
implementations. Finally, some frequently asked questions are answered and a glossary of specific terms is provided.
The ideas and orientations presented in this document compose an open guide and are conceived as a point of departure,
but every teacher is expected to adjust their implementation to the characteristics of their students, their specific context,
and their personal teacher profile. Therefore, this document does not aspire to emerge as a rigid instrument but as a
starting point. All in all, this guide has been developed by an interdisciplinary team whose research has set the base of the
orientations herein. At the end of the document several of these studies are listed to enable deepening on the topic of
CLIL in PE.
