CLIL TWO BIRDS IN ONE STONE Abstract CLIL programme implementation often causes a certain dissonance or disjuncture for educators and other CLIL stakeholders as they work to shift from their current practices to those practices favoured by the CLIL approach. Many educators find it difficult to apply a multiple focus on content and language, as well as on cross-curricular integration, cognition, and reflection. The paper reports on the extent of those difficulties. It is based on a review of relevant CLIL, education, and management sciences literature, as well as on research currently underway into late CLIL programming in Estonia. The paper traces the causes of disjuncture such as a lack of knowledge about CLIL-specific strategies and their impact on learning; teacher belief systems; and, among others, the need for improved planning by teachers and government authorities. The interrelationships of various factors impacting on CLIL are identified. Multi-facetted, coordinated solutions are proposed. Keywords: Content and language integrated learning (CLIL); disjuncture; stakeholders; professional learning communities; Estonia
