Abstract
ABSTRACT This case study examines the use of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP®) Model as a framework in the design of an in-service training to answer CLIL teachers’ methodological needs to integrate content and language. The study also analyzes teachers’ receptiveness of the use of SIOP in a CLIL bilingual program to facilitate the integration of content and language. It follows case study methodology and draws on thematic analysis to examine data collected from teacher interviews, questionnaires and observations of the training workshop. Findings showed that one of teachers’ main difficulties was their lack of academic language awareness, and it is concluded that extensive professional development training drawing on some of the principles behind SIOP could assist CLIL teachers to integrate language in content classes. Teachers’ receptiveness of using the SIOP concludes its suitability as a PD training to help non-language specialist teachers systematically plan for language in their content classes. However, adaptations of the Model are suggested to adjust to CLIL contexts and teachers’ needs.
期刊介绍:
The International Multilingual Research Journal (IMRJ) invites scholarly contributions with strong interdisciplinary perspectives to understand and promote bi/multilingualism, bi/multi-literacy, and linguistic democracy. The journal’s focus is on these topics as related to languages other than English as well as dialectal variations of English. It has three thematic emphases: the intersection of language and culture, the dialectics of the local and global, and comparative models within and across contexts. IMRJ is committed to promoting equity, access, and social justice in education, and to offering accessible research and policy analyses to better inform scholars, educators, students, and policy makers. IMRJ is particularly interested in scholarship grounded in interdisciplinary frameworks that offer insights from linguistics, applied linguistics, education, globalization and immigration studies, cultural psychology, linguistic and psychological anthropology, sociolinguistics, literacy studies, post-colonial studies, critical race theory, and critical theory and pedagogy. It seeks theoretical and empirical scholarship with implications for research, policy, and practice. Submissions of research articles based on quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods are encouraged. The journal includes book reviews and two occasional sections: Perspectives and Research Notes. Perspectives allows for informed debate and exchanges on current issues and hot topics related to bi/multilingualism, bi/multi-literacy, and linguistic democracy from research, practice, and policy perspectives. Research Notes are shorter submissions that provide updates on major research projects and trends in the field.
