Integrating CLILIA to the Language of Peace Approach: Bridges to Tomorrow
Gloria Alpini
Abstract:
This conceptual review and exploratory proposal - presented as a narrative review article - examines evolving conceptions of peace, tracing a trajectory from Enlightenment ideals to contemporary approaches in language education grounded in empathy, justice, and intercultural understanding. It redefines peace not only as a philosophical ideal but as a communicative and pedagogical process, with language as a core medium of transformation. At the heart of this proposal is the integration of CLIL+IA (Content and Language Integrated Learning enhanced by Intelligenza Artificiale/Aumentata) with the Language of Peace Approach (LPA), forming a bilingual, AI-supported, and transdisciplinary pedagogy for peacebuilding. This fusion reshapes disciplines like History not merely as content, but as digital, bilingual spaces for ethical reflection, intercultural dialogue, and value co-construction. Through AI-enhanced tools, embodied learning, and bilingual engagement, these blended transcidiplinary approaches outline how learners can become empowered to act as empathetic communicators across linguistic and cultural boundaries. Languages, in the CLILIA for Peace approach, become vessels of memory and bridges of understanding, seeding a pedagogy of peace in a rapidly transforming world.
