A guide on how to implement CLIL in the classroom to foster motivation, engagement and progress in language learning.
Informed by research carried out by the authors, this book addresses the issues of developing CLIL in Anglophone-dominant countries, making it of interest for policy makers, researchers and teacher educators. Its global perspectives on CLIL present a pedagogical approach, which motivates students and gives meaning to their language learning.Do your students struggle to see the point in learning a language other than English? Do you teach in an English-dominant setting? If so, this book is a 'must-read'. It offers international perspectives on CLIL, a revolutionary teaching approach where students study subjects, for example physics or history, in a language which is not their own. Informed by research carried out by the authors, it addresses the issues of developing CLIL in Anglophone contexts and shows how to implement this method of language learning successfully in the reality of the classroom. Through three key themes, sustainability, pedagogy and social justice, each author explores CLIL as a means of addressing the high levels of cultural diversity and socio-economic disparity in Anglophone-dominant settings. Authored by experts in the field, it offers a set of flexible teaching tools, which serve to combine language and content, ultimately enhancing the learning experience of students.
'This book is a timely guide for educators looking for ways to open their schools to the multilingual world of the 2020s, challenging the arguments for monolingualism prevalent in English speaking countries. The authors of the different chapters are all deeply involved in the world of CLIL as researchers and teacher educators, and with their varied backgrounds, provide both theoretical support and practical guidance.' Rachel Whittaker, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
'This excellent book provides a valuable, much needed overview of CLIL, a construct which, despite its relatively short history, has developed and transformed in multifarious ways. By combining theory and research with rich examples of pedagogical practice, it reveals not only what CLIL can mean in different settings, but also what its potential is in a rapidly changing, plurilingual world. Where use of other languages is sadly far too often met with disinterest or even suspicion, this inspirational and boundary-crossing volume offers an agenda that can contribute to a more inclusive, enlightened future.' Terry Lamb, University of Westminster
'This volume explores CLIL in Anglophone countries, a welcome and timely shift in focus from English-medium CLIL to other instructional languages in English-dominant contexts. Its chapters cover an impressive range of key themes in CLIL, tied together by a clear and well-argued pedagogical understanding of what makes CLIL distinctive. This volume is an important contribution to the field, offering valuable insights for both CLIL teachers and researchers.' Tarja Nikula, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
'This engaging and accessible volume addresses a wealth of pressing topics associated with CLIL implementation. I consider it a vital resource for a range of stakeholders invested in helping CLIL realize its full potential, including teachers, teacher educators, educational researchers, program administrators, and policy makers.' Jason Martel, Associate Professor, TESOL/TFL, Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Monterey
'I am very impressed with this book, which clearly shows that CLIL is a complex, dynamic and adaptive system that can be used to teach language in a variety of contexts, including in Anglophone countries.' Shigeru Sasajima, President of J-CLIL (the Japan CLIL Pedagogy Association)
