L. Activity 2.7. CLIL - GROUP DISCUSSION

1- What is the aim of (CLIL) in relation to the teaching of L2/FL?

CLIL aims to guide language processing and reinforce language production. In CLIL the content drives the language.

2- Should CLIL become a substitute for general language teaching, and be used as the sole method for teaching L2/FL as its the trend in “Vocational Training”?

No, it shouldn't, since there are some students (for example, immigrants students) that need to get into immersion programmes. It woudl be ideal to find a balance between both programms, in order to assure a significative process of learning a foreign language for all kinds of learners.

3- Should there be some coordination between the teaching of FL in general and CLIL courses?

Yes, it would be a good idea to blend them, so each tecahing methodology cna complement the other. After all, education should be based on teh principel sof cooperation and interaction.
