Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an established approach to support multilingualism by teaching various school subjects in an additional European language. The methodology, the procedures and the educational strategies used, however, vary considerably (Dalton-Puffer, 2011: 9), and so do the results (Ruiz de Zarobe et al., 2011). Our book considers this diversity by looking at CLIL scenarios, defined as learning environments supporting content learning, language learning and learning skill development, probably in a taskbased learning setting, with a strong focus on interaction (Coyle, 2011: 68) in different curricular contexts and at various levels of proficiency. CLIL by Interaction is understood both as negotiation of meaning and form and as discourse with a CLIL learner to empower him or her to participate in social discourse (Bonnet, 2013: 189).
The curricular contexts are related to the editors’ academic network which is based at the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany) and related to schools in this region, where the editors collaborate with Alexander Woltin, a teacher of English and biology, who provides both a linguistic and a content-oriented perspective on CLIL. Peer-to-peer scaffolding is studied in a poster project carried out in a primary school science class by Carmen Becker using interaction analysis. A more linguistic perspective is shown in the research on interaction analysis in teacher education, carried out by Rita Kupetz together with Maxi Kupetz from Potsdam University. The collaboration with Ivana Marenzi from the research centre L3S in Hannover led to a study on CLIL material design in teacher education using the search-and-share capabilities of new technologies. Jana Roos completes this volume by investigating communicative tasks in CLIL learning scenarios at secondary school.
The book employs linguistic approaches such as interaction analysis and educational assumptions such as a constructivist approach to learning, designbased research or a case-based approach to learning, where CLIL scenarios are recorded and studied. The goal in all of these investigations is to recognize linguistic and pedagogic patterns, such as scaffolding, code-switching and repair, and their relevance for specific activities in CLIL interaction. ← 7 | 8 →
One major focus is on how classroom interaction analysis can make a difference in teacher education and ongoing professional development (Escobar Urmeneta, 2013). CLIL teacher education has changed in Germany from sporadic (Blell, Kupetz, 2005) to a more systematic approach covering all three phases of teacher education from university to on-the-job training (Gnutzmann, Rabe, 2013). The approach used at Leibniz Universität Hannover is characterized by its curricular contextualization in foreign language teacher education and a more and more intensified collaboration with teacher students’ second subject methodology, such as teaching history (in English) or teaching geography (in English).
Interaction is also described in the context of designing CLIL material, focusing in particular on communication and collaboration, and how the search-and-share capabilities of new technologies greatly facilitate the development of students’ conceptual understanding and procedural competence.
In sum, the CLIL research presented in this volume sheds light on CLIL from a predominantly linguistic perspective – interaction analysis in collaboration with subject teachers and an educational perspective – covering the concepts of multiliteracies, task-based learning and IT-enhanced learning.
