CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING (CLIL)
_'CLIL refers to situations where subjects,
or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focussed
aims, namely the learning of content, and the simultaneous learning of a foreign
language'. (Marsh, 1994)
This approach involves learning subjects such as history, geography or others, through an additional language. It can be very successful in enhancing the learning of languages and other subjects, and developing in the youngsters a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards themselves as language learners. (Marsh, 2000)

_ THE COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH TO LANGUAGE TEACHING
_
The communicative approach arose as the product of educators and linguists who had grown dissatisfied with the audiolingual and grammar-translation methods of foreign language instruction. They felt that students were not learning enough realistic language and did not know how to communicate using the appropriate social code. Interest in and development of communicative-style teaching mushroomed in the 1970s which promoted authentic language use and classroom exchanges where students engaged in real communication with one another. Thus, the communicative language teaching makes use of real-life situations that necessitate communication and the role of the teacher is to set up a situation that students are likely to encounter in real life.

COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION (CBE) & COMPETENCY-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (CBLT)
Competency-Based Education (CBE) is an educational movement which emerged in the United States in the 1970s. This movement focuses on the outputs to learning in contrast to previous approaches which focus primarily on the inputs to language learning by assuming that an improvement of the syllabuses, materials, and activities or by changing the role of teachers and learners, more effective language learning will take place. In contrast to such methods and approaches, the CBE emphasizes the outcomes of learning and addresses what learners are expected to do with the language. Such a view to learning is central to the competencies perspective where competencies describe the strudents' ability to apply basic and other skills in situations that are commonly encountered in everyday life (Schenck 1978). Thus, the CBE defines the goals and objectives to be reached in such a way that students´ knowledge, skills and behaviors could be easily measured. Besides, students are expected to develop the ability to use their knowledge in real life situations. The competency approach has many advantages for learners such as: (i) competencies are precise, well-defined and useful and can be related to what students need and to what is appealing to them; (ii) competencies can be constructively criticized by students, since they can judge whether they are pertinent and helpful in their learning process; (iii) competencies need to be socialized with students, so that they can specifically know what they need to learn and what is going to be tested in the course. In this way, students become aware of their learning process and the goals they need to achieve, and (iv) competencies can be gradually developed in different stages of the learning process, so that learners discern what they have learned and what they still need to learn to achieve the set of competencies of the course.

THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
The Theory of Multiple Intelligencies was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 as a model of intelligence that differentiates intelligence into various specific (primarily sensory) modalities, rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability. Gardner argues that there is a wide range of cognitive abilities, and that there are only very weak correlations between them, which implies that a child who learns to multiply easily is not necessarily generally more intelligent than a child who has more difficulty on this task. According to Gardner, there are several criteria for a behavior to be an intelligence (e.g. (i) Potential for brain isolation by brain damage; (ii) Place in evolutionary history; (iii) Presence of core operations; (iv) Susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression); (v) A distinct developmental progression; (vi) The existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people, and (vii) Support from experimental psychology and psychometric findings). For Gardner, there are eight abilities that meet these criteria, wchich correspond to eigth basic competencies: 1) Spatial; 2) Linguistic; 3) Logical-mathematical; 4) Bodily-kinesthetic; 5) Musical; 6) Interpersonal; 7) Intrapersonal, and 8) Naturalistic. Furthermore, he considers that existential and moral intelligence may also be worthy of inclusion. Thus, an intelligence can be defined as ‘‘biopsychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture’’ (Gardner 1999: 33–34). According to Garder, there are more ways to do this than just through logical and linguistic intelligence. Therefore, when applied to education, the purpose of schooling "should be to develop intelligences and to help people reach vocational and avocational goals that are appropriate to their particular spectrum of intelligences. In this way, people feel more engaged and competent and therefore more inclined to serve society in a constructive way.

COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION (CBE) & COMPETENCY-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (CBLT)
Competency-Based Education (CBE) is an educational movement which emerged in the United States in the 1970s. This movement focuses on the outputs to learning in contrast to previous approaches which focus primarily on the inputs to language learning by assuming that an improvement of the syllabuses, materials, and activities or by changing the role of teachers and learners, more effective language learning will take place. In contrast to such methods and approaches, the CBE emphasizes the outcomes of learning and addresses what learners are expected to do with the language. Such a view to learning is central to the competencies perspective where competencies describe the strudents' ability to apply basic and other skills in situations that are commonly encountered in everyday life (Schenck 1978). Thus, the CBE defines the goals and objectives to be reached in such a way that students´ knowledge, skills and behaviors could be easily measured. Besides, students are expected to develop the ability to use their knowledge in real life situations. The competency approach has many advantages for learners such as: (i) competencies are precise, well-defined and useful and can be related to what students need and to what is appealing to them; (ii) competencies can be constructively criticized by students, since they can judge whether they are pertinent and helpful in their learning process; (iii) competencies need to be socialized with students, so that they can specifically know what they need to learn and what is going to be tested in the course. In this way, students become aware of their learning process and the goals they need to achieve, and (iv) competencies can be gradually developed in different stages of the learning process, so that learners discern what they have learned and what they still need to learn to achieve the set of competencies of the course.

THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
The Theory of Multiple Intelligencies was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 as a model of intelligence that differentiates intelligence into various specific (primarily sensory) modalities, rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability. Gardner argues that there is a wide range of cognitive abilities, and that there are only very weak correlations between them, which implies that a child who learns to multiply easily is not necessarily generally more intelligent than a child who has more difficulty on this task. According to Gardner, there are several criteria for a behavior to be an intelligence (e.g. (i) Potential for brain isolation by brain damage; (ii) Place in evolutionary history; (iii) Presence of core operations; (iv) Susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression); (v) A distinct developmental progression; (vi) The existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people, and (vii) Support from experimental psychology and psychometric findings). For Gardner, there are eight abilities that meet these criteria, wchich correspond to eigth basic competencies: 1) Spatial; 2) Linguistic; 3) Logical-mathematical; 4) Bodily-kinesthetic; 5) Musical; 6) Interpersonal; 7) Intrapersonal, and 8) Naturalistic. Furthermore, he considers that existential and moral intelligence may also be worthy of inclusion. Thus, an intelligence can be defined as ‘‘biopsychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture’’ (Gardner 1999: 33–34). According to Garder, there are more ways to do this than just through logical and linguistic intelligence. Therefore, when applied to education, the purpose of schooling "should be to develop intelligences and to help people reach vocational and avocational goals that are appropriate to their particular spectrum of intelligences. In this way, people feel more engaged and competent and therefore more inclined to serve society in a constructive way.
