Abstract
In this article, we examine how Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is being implemented in contemporary pedagogical practice. Our research focuses on several areas that, in our view, remain insufficiently explored — particularly micro-scaffolding techniques used by teachers, the orchestration of multimodal input during lessons, and the ways CLIL is adapted to local curricula in Uzbek general education schools. While many previous studies emphasize the theoretical benefits of CLIL, we concentrate on classroom-level processes: how students manage cognitive load, how their autonomy develops, and how subject content interacts with language learning in real practice. Based on our findings, we offer practical, context-sensitive recommendations for teachers, curriculum developers, and education policymakers in Uzbekistan.
