The presence of the L1 in classes where English is taught as a Foreign Language (EFL) has always provoked debate. As a result, the role of the L1 remains a matter of discussion in the bilingual education classroom. Moreover, the presence of both the L1 and a foreign language can be controversial in programmes where both the L1 and the foreign langu...

Bilingual education is no longer an exclusive entity, but is increasingly becoming mainstreamed. In doing so, it can promote the consolidation of linguistic...
When analysing the main drivers for the success of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), interest has been paid to the significance of coordination between language teachers and content teachers to promote an effective integration of content and language. A decisive factor in teaching seems to be teachers’ perception of their own profess...

This study investigates the perceptions that teachers and...

The aim of this study is to investigate if content and language teachers are able to plan a...
In content and language integrated learning (CLIL), as in any other type of bilingual education, two languages are used to promote cognitive and language learning. Whereas in the bilingual classroom the two languages are always present, in CLIL they may appear together or be used in totally separate circumstances. Although the relationship between...
