Book Content and Language Integrated Learning

Download or read book Content and Language Integrated Learning written by Yolanda Ruiz de Zarobe and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the growth of interest in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), an approach to second/foreign language learning that requires the use of the target language to learn content. Within the framework of European strategies to promote multilingualism, CLIL has begun to be used extensively in a variety of language learning contexts, and at different educational systems and language programmes. This book brings together critical analyses on theoretical and implementation issues of Content and Language Integrated Learning, and empirical studies on the effectiveness of this type of instruction on learners’ language competence. The basic theoretical assumption behind this book is that through successful use of the language to learn content, learners will develop their language proficiency more effectively while they learn the academic content specified in the curricula.

Book Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning  CLIL  Classrooms

Download or read book Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning CLIL Classrooms written by Mark deBoer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume builds a conceptual basis for assessment promoting learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms and proposes practical assessment approaches and activities that CLIL teachers can apply in the classroom. CLIL as an educational context is unique, as language and content learning happen simultaneously. The efficacy of such instruction has been studied extensively, but assessment in CLIL classrooms has drawn much less attention. The present volume aims to fill this gap. Arranged based on different ways that content and language are integrated in CLIL, the chapters in this book together build a solid theoretical basis for assessment promoting learning in CLIL classrooms. The authors discuss how assessment eliciting this integration yields insights into learners' abilities, but more importantly, how these insights are used to promote learning. The contributors to the volume together build the understanding of classroom-based assessment as cyclic, of teaching, learning, and assessment as inter-related, and of content and language in CLIL classrooms as a dialectical unity. This volume will spark interest in and discussion of classroom-based assessment in CLIL among CLIL educators and researchers, enable reflection of classroom assessment practices, and foster collaboration between CLIL teachers and researchers. The assessment approaches and activities discussed in the volume, in turn, will help educators understand the scope of applications of assessment and inspire them to adapt these to their own classrooms.

Book Content and Language Integrated Learning  CLIL   A Methodology of Bilingual Teaching

Download or read book Content and Language Integrated Learning CLIL A Methodology of Bilingual Teaching written by Bernd Klewitz and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning foreign languages is a process of acquiring authentic contents in cultural contexts. In this respect, bilingual programs provide an effective connection between content-based studies and linguistic activities. The European umbrella term CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) not only comprises the aims and objectives of a sustainable format of teaching foreign languages but also the priority of content over language, in other words: language follows content, as in the Bauhaus precept form follows function. But in order to effectively integrate content and language, a comprehensive pedagogical approach is needed that goes beyond existing curricula and guidebooks. Bernd Klewitz aims at establishing the CLIL methodology by linking content requirements of subject areas, especially those in the social sciences, with linguistic building blocks and tools. The integrative methodology of bilingual programs extends to the study of literature, traditionally a domain of language tuition, but thought to be a seminal part of CLIL as well. The building blocks and language tools presented in this volume focus on learning foreign languages in cultural contexts, aims, and objectives of CLIL, parameters of an integrated bilingual teaching strategy, dimensions of bilingual learning, elements of a CLIL concept, Literary CLIL, CLIL tools and strategies, modules with worked examples, challenges, and desiderata, and a comprehensive glossary. Each section is completed with an interactive part of review, reflection, and practice.

Book The Educational Method of Content and Language Integrated Learning  CLIL

Download or read book The Educational Method of Content and Language Integrated Learning CLIL written by Elena Agathokleous and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Didactics - German - Pedagogy, Linguistics, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This essay deals with the concept of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as a method. CLIL is an innovative approach in which content and language are integrated with the goal to provide more exposure to the foreign language and to enrich the areas of language use thus enhancing language learning through the content of various school subjects. In this approach lessons for subjects like chemistry, history or geography are redesigned and taught in the language target leading to a better acquisition of the target language.

Download or read book Focus on CLIL written by Kasia Papaja and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) refers to an educational context where a foreign language (in this case English) is used as a medium of instruction in content subjects. This book presents and analyses the changes which take place in a CLIL classroom in secondary education. This book will also serve to raise CLIL teachers’ awareness of certain changes which occur in the CLIL classroom, and will consequently help them understand the process of Content and Language Integrated Learning. The book is organised into two parts: theoretical and empirical. These parts consist of six chapters each. The first three chapters review the professional literature relevant to this study, while the other three chapters are devoted to the empirical study.

Book Content and Language Integrated Learning

Download or read book Content and Language Integrated Learning written by Yolanda Ruiz de Zarobe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores some of the recent research undertaken on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). It offers an overview of several European contexts, describing experiences that could be extrapolated to many other communities worldwide. Contributions focus on issues related to language policy, moving from high-level policymaking to grassroots decisions, but all of them encompassing the major changes that can be recognized in education, which also evidence the shifts in society and economic life that have taken place in Europe in the last decades. These changes in language policy issues are coupled with changes in CLIL practice in the classroom. These national initiatives are displayed across a wide range of educational perspectives, portraying the diversity that is a distinctive feature of CLIL in the European educational mosaic. By providing new insights into pedagogic, methodological, and language policy issues in CLIL, and by covering some areas which have been insufficiently addressed in the literature, such as the implementation of CLIL in ‘less successful’ contexts, or learner-teacher collaboration in the classroom, this book will be of great value to researchers, stakeholders and professionals interested in CLIL and language education. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism.

Book Modernizing Educational Practice

Download or read book Modernizing Educational Practice written by Katarzyna Papaja and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an innovative approach referring to educational settings where a language different from the learners’ mother tongue is used as a medium of instruction. This other language is found to be used from kindergarten to the tertiary level, and the extent of its use may range from occasional foreign language texts in individual subjects to covering the whole curriculum. The changes in the technological, economic and social realities of the modern world have led, and still lead, to more frequent contact between people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Globalisation has made the world interconnected; the world is rapidly becoming a mixed global village where the role of languages is extremely important. In such an integrated world, integrated learning is viewed as a modern form of educational delivery. CLIL represents an increasingly popular approach to language teaching and learning not only in Europe, but also in other countries such as Japan, Malaysia, China, and the United Arab Emirates. Even though CLIL is not of a uniform nature and varies across the world, one of the main arguments for its introduction is that it creates conditions for naturalistic language learning. This book represents selected presentations given at the Ustroń CLIL 2013 conference, which brought together academicians, researchers, teachers and educational authorities from all over the world, and provided them with the opportunity to exchange an interdisciplinary dialogue on CLIL methodologies, as well as the purely practical consequences of implementing such pedagogies in institutional educational practices at the primary, secondary or tertiary level. As such, collection embraces original contributions across a range of areas of CLIL.

Book Investigating Content and Language Integrated Learning

Download or read book Investigating Content and Language Integrated Learning written by Liss Kerstin Sylvén and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a rich and unique longitudinal account of content and language integrated learning (CLIL). The chapters report on the findings from a large-scale, three-year research project undertaken at senior high school level in Sweden. The ecological perspective, with quantitative and qualitative methods, gives voice to both learners and teachers, as well as being an excellent critical example of how such longitudinal research might be carried out. Through emic and etic approaches, the book provides insights into language learning outcomes, both with regard to the target language English and the majority language Swedish; learner motivation among CLIL and non-CLIL students; effects of extramural exposure to English; issues in relation to assessment in CLIL and much more. As a whole, the book offers an unprecedented overview of learner outcomes and detailed insights into the comparison of CLIL and non-CLIL education. While it is embedded in the Swedish context, the nature of this study means that it has strong implications on an international basis.

Download or read book CLIL written by Do Coyle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has emerged since the millennium as a major trend in education. Written by Do Coyle, Philip Hood and David Marsh and drawing on their experience of CLIL in secondary schools, primary schools and English language schools across Europe, this book gives a comprehensive overview of CLIL. It summarises the theory which underpins the teaching of a content subject through another language and discusses its practical application, outlining the key directions for the development of research and practice. This book acknowledges the uncertainty many teachers feel about CLIL, because of the requirement for both language and subject knowledge, while providing theoretical and practical routes towards successful practice for all.

Book Teaching  Learning and Scaffolding in CLIL Science Classrooms

Download or read book Teaching Learning and Scaffolding in CLIL Science Classrooms written by Yuen Yi Lo and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents a collection of empirical studies examining the teaching and learning processes in science classrooms in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. It is a timely contribution to the rapidly growing body of CLIL research in response to scholars’ consistent calls for more classroom-based research on the issues in integration of content and language teaching in lessons. With the dual goal of content and language learning, students in CLIL programmes are also facing double challenges – mastery of abstract, cognitively demanding content knowledge and unfamiliar academic language. Focusing on the notion of “scaffolding”, this edited volume demonstrates how science teachers can provide appropriate and timely scaffolding for their students to overcome the challenges in CLIL science classrooms. With studies from different educational settings (Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and Australia) and epistemological paradigms, and adopting a variety of research designs, this volume will provide key insights into CLIL pedagogy and teacher education. Originally published as special issue of Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education 7:2 (2019).

Book Discourse in Content and Language Integrated Learning  CLIL  Classrooms

Download or read book Discourse in Content and Language Integrated Learning CLIL Classrooms written by Christiane Dalton-Puffer and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The label CLIL stands for classrooms where a foreign language (English) is used as a medium of instruction in content subjects. This book provides a first in-depth analysis of the kind of communicative abilities which are embodied in such CLIL classrooms. It examines teacher and student talk at secondary school level from different discourse-analytic angles, taking into account the interpersonal pragmatics of classroom discourse and how school subjects are talked into being during lessons. The analysis shows how CLIL classroom interaction is strongly shaped by its institutional context, which in turn conditions the ways in which students experience, use and learn the target language. The research presented here suggests that CLIL programmes require more explicit language learning goals in order to fully exploit their potential for furthering the learners’ appropriation of a foreign language as a medium of learning.

Book Content and Language Integrated Learning   CLIL

Download or read book Content and Language Integrated Learning CLIL written by Lydia Sajda and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Salzburg (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), 80 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Europe is moving closer together. Diverse nations, communities, cultures and language groups are building a single Union. "It is a Union built around the equal interchange of ideas and traditions and founded upon the mutual acceptance of people with different histories but a common future" (Commission of the European Communities, 2003:3). Since the European Union will be home to citizens from different cultural and linguistic background, it is becoming more important than ever that peoples have the skills to understand each other and to communicate with their neighbours. To achieve the goal of mutual understanding, it is, among other factors, necessary to promote effective language learning. One way of promoting language learning is the access to appropriate education at school. However, there are other ways of language learning. People, for instance, acquire language skills when they are exposed to languages in natural environments. (ibid.) The focus in this diploma thesis is on language learning at school. During the Education, Youth and Culture Council in May 2005, the Luxembourg Presidency focussed on the ever changing European classroom and the potential of multi-lingual education. It has placed language learning and linguistic diversity high on the European agenda. There is a fairly new approach to learning which combines the transmission of domain specific knowledge and linguistic knowledge. This means that biology, for instance, is not only taught in the mother tongue, but also in a foreign language. In expert community, this approach is known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and "has a major contribution to make to the Union's language learning goals" (Commission of the European Communities, 2003:9).
