This entails a focus on transferable knowledge and problem-solving skills, alongside the cultivation of a positive or growth mindset. In their book, a follow-up to CLIL, the authors delve into the latest developments in understanding the interplay between language and learning. They propose an innovative new pluriliteracies approach that enhances and expands upon current thinking in CLIL. The primary objective of this approach is to facilitate deeper learning by emphasizing disciplinary literacies, guiding learners toward textual fluency, promoting effective cross-cultural communication, and providing a vital foundation for becoming responsible global citizens.

This book offers a robust theoretical framework while demonstrating practical applications of its insights. It is an invaluable resource for academics and education practitioners alike, enabling the transformation of conventional classrooms into thriving deeper learning ecosystems. By embracing the principles outlined in this book, educators can empower learners to navigate the complexities of the modern world with a deeper understanding, critical thinking, and adaptability.
