UDC 378.147 CLIL AND MEDIA: ENHANCING LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH CULTURAL CONTEXTS
Abstract
Annotation.This study examines the integration of digital media in CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) classrooms, focusing on its impact on language acquisition, cultural learning, and student engagement. Through a systematic literature review of 11 peer-reviewed sources, the research identifies key themes in media-enhanced linguistic development, intercultural competence, and pedagogical challenges. The findings confirm that audiovisual resources significantly improve vocabulary retention, pronunciation, and comprehension while fostering cultural awareness through authentic linguistic exposure. However, issues such as teacher preparedness, accessibility of media resources, and assessment challenges remain significant barriers. The study highlights the need for structured teacher training programs, innovative digital learning frameworks, and updated evaluation models to optimize media-enhanced CLIL instruction. The research contributes to the growing discourse on digital education in multilingual learning environments, offering recommendations for effective media integration strategies and future research directions.
