Abstract

The selection of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) teaching materials may present challenges for teachers in additional language learning contexts. L2 teachers wishing to incorporate CLIL in the primary classroom have, among other options, the possibility of using coursebooks (e.g., Bentley, 2009) which include a CLIL perspective. The aim of this chapter is to analyse how CLIL is included in four General English coursebook series for young learners usually adopted in primary education and language schools in Argentina. It should be clarified that in the context of this chapter the additional language is English.
