Abstract Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has a long tradition in European countries, especially in primary and secondary education. In this paper we draw attention to the limited use of the term in higher education, especially at (post-)graduate level. By describing and discussing a course entirely taught in English to students in a program titled Education for Science in Brazil, the authors expect to contribute to a broader understanding of the interrelations between specialized content and advanced communicative skills in English for academic purposes. By focusing on qualitative data on the collaborative writing of a paper in English, it is expected that this kind of classroom-based case study will contribute to better informed decisions related to internationalization of (post-)graduate programs among institutions that underscore the importance of English to help promote visibility and cooperation.
