Learning English has always been the goal for many people to achieve. Content knowledge of any subject used to have no direct relation with mastering a foreign language. That is water under the bridge. Learning through a foreign language is a trend and must be considered as a way to prepare students for a globalized world. The adoption of a Content Language Integrated Learning Approach seems to fulfill the need for future successful professionals in field. By offering the opportunity to live real-life situations where content has to be acquired through any understanding of input in English, international field trips are an excellent way to educate content-literate and language-effective students.
