摘要:Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is increasingly
widespread in educational institutions of all levels and sectors across
Europe. Thanks to a burgeoning research base and subsequent publications,
we are now, more than ever, in a position to confidently testify to the
benefits of CLIL as a successful educational approach for this day and age.
However, the popularity of CLIL should not be mistaken for something
that is easy to implement and deliver. As with many an innovation,
demand or desire to jump on the bandwagon often outweigh resources,
which in the case of CLIL means teachers who possess appropriate levels of
linguistic competence in the foreign language and knowledge of the subject
specialism. Equally important is the need to adapt teaching methodology
to cater for the integrated learning of both content and language. This
entails a change in perspective about the foreign language as a subject to
that of a tool in content learning. This paper addresses teacher roles and
methodology in CLIL contexts and highlights the importance of teacher
education for CLIL.
