Abstract: Political and economic changes in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, competition in the global market, and greater people mobility contribute to increasing number of students studying in a foreign language who expect to improve both their knowledge and language skills. Following the design research approach, we propose a framework for creating university courses that support content and language integrated learning (CLIL) within a virtual learning environment (VLE). The framework was developed on the basis of our experience and a survey conducted among students of Cracow University of Economics, Poland, who study in a non-native language. It incorporates a blended-learning model. All course materials are prepared in Polish and English and are available for multilingual student population in a bilingual VLE course. The framework might be useful for other transition economies where a political and economic transformation has brought similar shifts in language skill requirements.
