Abstract

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) can support the use of a minority language in different subjects. In our paper we present this method in the case of school mathematics. First, we describe the process of gaining knowledge in teaching mathematics. We will then present some students’ work who will be future Slovak minority teachers.
