Also, students through a series ofCLIL readings activitiescould feel motivation to activate their prior knowledge of a specific topic, and this prior knowledge helped them to comprehend the content of the reading activity and transfer that content to L2. Therefore, students could link new facts to the prior knowledge and increasetheir level of reading comprehension. Finally, some students could achieve the pleasure of reading in a language that is not their mother tongue.
