Abstract
Abstract: The article looks at three related concepts – Cross-curricular Teaching (CCT), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI). Given the importance of language learning and multilingualism in the context of the European Education Area (EEA) and the fact that Higher Education is considered both a dimension and a priority of the EEA (European Commission, 2022), an attempt is made to argue for the need to consider language teaching and learning at the university level as a complex phenomenon. More specifically, the article focuses on integrating (inter)disciplinary content and language at the tertiary level mentioning a pedagogical framework for teaching English for Communication at EU Institutions (ECEUI) as a case in point. Keywords: European Education Area (EEA), Cross-curricular Teaching (CCT), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), English for Communication at EU Institutions (ECEUI).
