Abstract

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a dynamic educational approach that holds the potential to enhance language proficiency, content knowledge acquisition, and academic achievement among students. By integrating language learning with subject content, CLIL provides students with immersive and meaningful learning experiences that facilitate communicative competence, critical thinking skills, and intercultural awareness. Discussions surrounding CLIL implementation have emphasized its potential to transform language education and promote multilingualism in diverse educational contexts. Key findings from research on CLIL suggest that participation in CLIL programs can lead to improvements in students' language proficiency across various linguistic skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Additionally, CLIL facilitates deeper comprehension and retention of subject matter by providing authentic contexts for learning and promoting interdisciplinary connections. Students participating in CLIL programs demonstrate comparable or even superior levels of content knowledge acquisition compared to those in traditional subject-based instruction, highlighting the effectiveness of CLIL in promoting academic success and critical thinking skills. However, the success of CLIL implementation hinges on various factors, including teacher preparation, institutional support, and resource allocation. Educators play a central role in the success of CLIL programs, requiring specialized training and ongoing professional development to effectively integrate language and content instruction. Institutional support is essential for creating conducive environments for CLIL implementation, while adequate resources are critical for optimizing learning experiences and addressing the diverse needs of learners.
了解英语教育中内容与语言整合学习(CLIL)的益处和挑战:文献综述
内容与语言整合学习(CLIL)是一种充满活力的教育方法,有可能提高学生的语言能力、内容知识掌握程度和学业成绩。通过将语言学习与学科内容相结合,CLIL 为学生提供了身临其境的、有意义的学习体验,促进了学生的交际能力、批判性思维能力和跨文化意识。围绕 CLIL 的实施所展开的讨论强调了它在不同教育背景下改变语言教育和促进多语言使用的潜力。有关 CLIL 的主要研究结果表明,参与 CLIL 课程可以提高学生的语言能力,包括听、说、读、写等各种语言技能。此外,文化语言学习通过提供真实的学习情境和促进跨学科联系,有助于加深对学科内容的理解和记忆。与传统的学科教学相比,参加 CLIL 课程的学生在学习内容知识方面表现出相当甚至更高的水平,这突出表明了 CLIL 在促进学业成功和批判性思维能力方面的有效性。然而,CLIL 的成功实施取决于各种因素,包括教师准备、机构支持和资源分配。教育工作者在 CLIL 项目的成功中发挥着核心作用,他们需要接受专门培训和持续的专业发展,以有效地整合语言和内容教学。机构支持对于创造有利于实施 CLIL 的环境至关重要,而充足的资源对于优化学习体验和满足学习者的不同需求也至关重要。
