Heterogenitätsfreundlicher CLIL-Unterricht auf der Primarstufe. Eine Good Practice-Studie wie heterogene Englischlernende bilinguale Module in der Fächerfusion Englisch und Bildnerisches Gestalten für ihr Lernen nutzen

Abstract

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) combining the subjects English and art lends itself to heterogeneous language learners at the primary level due to the emphasis on highly visualized task-based and action-oriented learning. Against this backdrop, a comprehensive, qualitative-dominant mixed-methods research study was carried out. The article focuses on how primary pupils with different levels of competence in English make use of CLIL tasks for developing their competences in both subjects. We provide insights into two CLIL tasks including short conversation analyses from dialogues between the pupils. The research design is laid out in detail. In the data analysis we focus on four criteria for assessing the pupil’s speaking competences in the CLIL setting. The results indicate that strong and average pupils could benefit from the CLIL in very similar ways to develop both language- and content-based competences whereas the group of the pupils with weaker competences in English utilize this setting in a significantly different way needing more and diverse scaffolding for the dual-focused learning
