Abstract
Built on the Canadian immersion model, Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has been an immensely popular approach to education in Europe. Despite the fact that this approach has been adopted in many systems of education, there is an acute shortage of textbooks supporting full integration of objectives related to both content and language. In some contexts, publishers offer translated versions of regular textbooks written in learners' first language (L1), in which no adjustment is made to meet the requirements of the new mode of instruction. On the basis of the 4Cs (content, communication, cognition and culture) Framework of CLIL, the aim of this article is to indicate why translated CLIL textbooks fail to support learners in acquiring the subject matter in a foreign language. Additionally, to assist textbook designers, teachers and textbook evaluators, a few practical principles of high-quality CLIL learning materials will be provided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
