Three main thematically organized areas for CLIL research\u0000 emerged from the reviewed studies: (1) Dominant perceptions and beliefs about CLIL, (2) Positive outcomes and challenges in CLIL,\u0000 and (3) CLIL pedagogy and methodology. The majority of the reviewed studies primarily focused on students’ English language\u0000 skills, investigated the affective and cognitive experience of CLIL, and addressed challenges, practices, and concerns related to\u0000 CLIL. These themes capture the current landscape of CLIL research in Kazakhstan and contribute to a more holistic understanding of\u0000 CLIL’s impact on language acquisition and educational practices, thereby informing approaches to language education in Kazakhstan’s trilingual education\u0000 system.","PeriodicalId":44473,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141357051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine whether a two-year CLIL\u0000 programme has positive effects by applying the same tasks for which advantages were shown previously and to examine whether\u0000 potential gains might impact children’s academic performance. Thirty 7-year-old French-speaking pupils who had been enrolled in a\u0000 CLIL programme since the age of 5 and 30 French-speaking monolinguals following a traditional school programme were compared on\u0000 different attentional and executive tasks after being matched on potential confounding variables.

This study\u0000 addresses such concerns by investigating the cognitive processes and strategies of bilingual learners when being assessed in their\u0000 L2. 49 university students, divided into more proficient and less proficient L2 learners, participated in an eye-tracking\u0000 experiment which captured their eye movements when attempting a biology assessment. They then reported their thinking processes\u0000 and strategies during the assessment process in a stimulated recall. In general, the participants engaged in more cognitive\u0000 processes when attempting questions that were more cognitively demanding and required productive language skills.

The proportion of students ( n = 131) meeting the provincial standard in reading, writing, and mathematics and the effect of gender, place of birth, socio-economic status, English proficiency level, and program were analyzed. Writing was the strongest domain, followed by reading and mathematics. ML-SEN students were equally likely to meet the provincial standard whether in ELoI or EFI, and there were few significant predictors of achievement. Participating in EFI did not increase students’ risk of academic difficulty. Additional supports may be beneficial to ML-SEN students in ELoI and EFI programs.","PeriodicalId":44473,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135730512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
