Even though there is not a unified definition
of CLIL and it is therefore approached
from different perspectives, what is known
is that CLIL is not only about teaching
conceptual content through a FL; it also entails linguistic content. However, it is not yet
clear what role language plays in CLIL courses. This research study seeks to find out
about the extent to which language is made
salient in social sciences lessons taught
through English by consider
ing the teacher’s methodology
and the materials used.
Likewise, the perceptions towards language of the aforementioned teacher and a group
of students involved are also
considered and analyzed.
Data were collected by means of lesson observation, textbook analys
is, an interview,
and the administration of a questionnaire. The findings revealed that lessons developed
in a basic language-aware way, which was
aligned with the teacher’s perception
towards language, who considered it to be
important but not decisive. The materials
used considered language to
a great extent, and the students’ perceptions towards
language were predominantly positive. Finally, it was discus
sed how certain changes in
the teaching procedures can make lessons develop in a more language-salient way for
best exploiting a CLIL environment. [--]
