- 14. THE FUTURE CLIL requires a rethink of the traditional concepts of the language classroom and the language teacher. Obstacles: Subject teachers unwilling to take on the responsibility. Most current CLIL programs are experimental. A good deal of conscious learning is involved -> skills from the subject teacher. Lack of CLIL teacher-training programs. Unnatural aspects: teaching of literature.
