The research reveals that the use of CLIL facilitates not only higher order thinking skills and better English competence, but also moral development and character values formation. In this research, described five approaches: the development character-oriented CLIL, contextual switch code, text strategies, students-to-students interaction and ritual performance as a method of teaching.
