Resumo

The CLIL approach appears to be a promising teaching methodology offering a wide range of learning
benefits extending from competence in the foreign language, knowledge around an area of the
curriculum, instances of authentic communication to lifelong skills development including
advancement of critical thinking. The Multiple Intelligences (MIs) (Gardner, 1983,1993) theory can lay
the foundations for creative tasks providing stimuli for young learners (YLs) to develop various types
of intelligence and learning strategies. The aim of this study is to examine the combination of the two
teaching methods. After conducting needs analysis, CLIL lessons were designed and delivered to a class
and a post-questionnaire investigated their impact on the development of the different frames of mind
of YLs. The results put forward that students’ skills, Multiple Intelligences, confidence and learning
autonomy are enhanced.
