CEIL (Content English Integrated Learning) refers to using English as the medium of instruction to teach academic content subjects. The goals of CEIL include providing students with real purposes for learning English, motivating them by relating lessons to their interests, accelerating language learning, enhancing vocabulary, focusing on both language and content, and developing lifelong learning skills. Some challenges of implementing CEIL include finding qualified teachers, selecting appropriate content, developing sufficient teaching materials, establishing clear assessment criteria, and ensuring adequate exposure to English. CEIL is similar to CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) but uses English specifically rather than another foreign language. The document provides various strategies that can be used to integrate English and academic content, such as interactive games

15. Poems
Every morning I wake up
suddenly
I make breakfast quickly
Because my children go to
school daily
I go to my job sadly
Because I am not supported
seriously
My husband treats me
harshly
But I work bravely
I work in people’s home
nervously
Because I am not educated
fully
Still I work for my family
