Computer-supported collaborative concept mapping (CSCCM), as one of the computer-mediated instruction and learning strategies, has been used to foster collaborative knowledge construction (CKC). Previous research has characterized groups based on final knowledge artifacts, products, or performances, rather than the temporal, process-oriented…

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is a European bilingual education model that focuses on the use of an additional language to enable simultaneous learning of content and language. This study used CLIL as a framework to examine educational stakeholders' perspectives and practices in an Introduction to ASEAN course taught as part of a…

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), widely established as a mainstream approach in ESL countries, is gaining traction in EFL contexts through selective programs and initiatives. Reflecting this trend, Vietnam's educational reforms under the 2018 General Education Program have incorporated CLIL-informed lessons into newly adopted…

This study explores the collaboration between Chinese and English partner teachers in a Chinese immersion school. They demonstrated commitment, communication, and collaboration, emphasizing student success. They bridged the curriculum by identifying shared standards, essential questions, and assessments, ensuring coherence across Chinese and…

Global student mobility and universities' commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion require shifts in teaching practices. This qualitative study in the United States Midwest context examines instructor learning in an innovative faculty development program consisting of (1) professional development sessions, (2) language and content-specialist…

The study looks at the case of a university language center in Japan that administers a compulsory English language course. To provide some level of standardization for the course, and to better meet the educational aims of the center, a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) teaching approach has been set as center policy. The research…

Research involving secondary school EFL learners has demonstrated that greater intensity of exposure, via CLIL lessons, yields notable benefits. However, studies in primary school are scarce and less optimistic. Furthermore, little is known about the effects of different degrees of CLIL intensity and of learners' exposure to Extramural English…

Contemporary conceptions of content learning that emphasize disciplinary practices offer opportunities to see and hear multilingual learners' (MLs') participation in new ways. However, research on disciplinary practices with MLs has primarily targeted those practices traditionally considered language intensive, such as explanation and…

Twenty-five years ago, Freeman and Johnson positioned language teacher education (LTE) and practice as a socially learned and sociohistorically situated activity. Although this shift substantially broadened and contextualized our understanding of educator learning and practice, further substantive work is needed in LTE to offer an equitable…

The pedagogical approach--Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)--has been widely adopted around the globe with its dual aims of developing students' second language (L2) proficiency and mastering content knowledge simultaneously. However, its effectiveness remains inconsistent. This inconsistency has led researchers to call for an…

This case study explored three Taiwanese elementary school English teachers' pedagogical and collaborative practice of glocalization in content and language integrated learning (CLIL) lessons. Based on the framework on English teachers' designs and implementing glocalized CLIL lessons, the thematic analysis of the documents, observations of…

This study explores the ways in which young second language learners in an intact fourth-grade content and language integrated (CLIL) science class drew on the affordances of multiple semiotic resources including language, images, sound, movement, etc., to construct disciplinary knowledge in the context of a multimodal project on machines. After…

This paper reports on the implementation of a 6-month collaborative teacher education project (CTEP) in China, designed to help teachers adopt CLIL in response to new primary school curriculum requirements. A multi-site case study was conducted to track two focal teachers' changes in CLIL implementation and its sustainability. Adopting ecological…

Although there has been much research on second language learning, minimal literature reports how language learners learn multiple foreign languages through immersion. Further, a majority of these previous studies have been conducted using exclusively quantitative methods. In response to these empirical and methodological gaps, the current study…

In bilingual education, the integration of STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) with CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) establishes a dynamic learning environment wherein students concurrently develop scientific, technical, linguistic, and creative competencies. These methodologies cultivate essential…
