En los contextos educativos actuales, la integración de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) y la gamificación han propiciado la implementación de las salas de escape como herramientas pedagógicas (Brusi & Cornellà, 2020; Rutledge et al., 2018). Este trabajo tiene como objetivo examinar el impacto de las salas de escape virtuales en la motivación de los estudiantes de Historia en contextos de Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas (AICLE). Veintinueve alumnos matriculados en una asignatura de Historia Clásica, impartida en una universidad española, han participado en este estudio completando una sala de escape virtual y una encuesta. Los resultados indican que las salas de escape pueden incrementar la motivación de los estudiantes, los cuales se sienten menos presionados a comunicarse en la lengua meta. Por lo tanto, la implementación de salas de escape puede ser un recurso útil en los entornos de enseñanza virtual que promueven la adquisición de habilidades orales, colaborativas y de pensamiento crítico.

CLIL teachers, particularly in tertiary “hard” CLIL settings, tend to underestimate the role of language for developing conceptual understanding of new content. Nevertheless, they consistently engage with English outside the classroom and even report a variety of activities that they carry out in English with the explicit hope that this will improve their language skills. However, they do not seem to develop transfer strategies that would allow them to benefit from this language engagement in their teaching. The results of a nation-wide study on CLIL teacher wellbeing in Austria confirmed this disconnect, prompting our present follow-up study, which aims to combine teacher training and research and to raise tertiary CLIL teachers’ levels of Teacher Language Awareness (TLA). By means of an online questionnaire, class observations and stimulated recall interviews, we explored teachers’ conceptualization of language, specifically their awareness of the language needed for effective content teaching. Results suggest that research-based TLA coaching must be part of CLIL teacher training to resolve the disconnect between the general communicative functions of language, on the one hand, and the pedagogical functions of language, on the other hand. This can help teachers unlock the potential of their existing language engagement for improving their classroom discourse and practices.

Students’ voices about the use of the English language in bilingual higher-education programs have received little attention, since most research has focused on lecturers’ attitudes, challenges, and needs. This exploratory study aims to gain insights into the perception of 310 students from a Spanish university context about the use of English in bilingual programs through questionnaires. Results show the students’ overall satisfaction in terms of lecturers English language proficiency and use of strategies to facilitate comprehension, as well as reluctance to be evaluated in that language, demand for further classroom interaction, and inclusion of language-related courses in bilingual-higher education curricula.

This study collected the perception of medical students about the use of English for teaching through the use of a strategy based in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira (UTP) Colombia. A descriptive observational quantitative research was conducted in a group of 128 students of medicine who agreed to participate in the strategy called “Strategy for Paper’s Bilingual Presentation (SPBP)” in the subjects of Surgical Clinic I and II. Of this group, 98.5% (126) considered learning English important in their training and 86% (110) essential to advance without difficulties in their studies. In addition, there was a 52.3% (67) of students who stated that the University should foster the use of English integrated with contents in specific programs. In reference to the teaching of English at the University, 85.9% (110) of the students considered that it should be integrated into the content of the academic programs. The didactic strategy was positively evaluated by 86.7% (111), and 61% (78) used English exclusively or preferentially. Scenic fear and lack of knowledge of technical language were arguments for the preferential use of Spanish in the session. Among the recommendations made by the students were the extension of the preparation time for the activity, the inclusion of clinical cases, and the selection of the assigned topics with the teacher. The didactic strategy used proved to be very useful and replicable in other semesters and training levels of the Medicine program. It is imperative to design and promote bilingual spaces that allow the use of English as a strategy to integrate contents and language in the teaching of Medicine.
本研究收集了哥伦比亚大学Tecnológica de Pereira (UTP)通过使用基于内容和语言综合学习(CLIL)方法的策略，医学生对使用英语进行教学的看法。对128名医学专业学生进行了一项描述性观察性定量研究，这些学生同意参与“论文双语呈现策略”(SPBP)策略，该策略在外科临床I和II的受试者中进行。在这一群体中，98.5%(126人)认为学习英语对他们的培训很重要，86%(110人)认为学习英语对他们在学习中毫无困难地进步至关重要。此外，52.3%(67名)的学生表示，大学应该在特定课程中培养与内容相结合的英语使用。对于大学的英语教学，85.9%(110人)的学生认为英语应该融入到学术课程的内容中。86.7%(111)的学生对教学策略有积极评价，61%(78)的学生只使用或优先使用英语。对情景的恐惧和对技术语言缺乏了解是在会议上优先使用西班牙语的理由。学生们提出的建议包括延长活动的准备时间，纳入临床病例，以及与老师一起选择指定的主题。所采用的教学策略在医学项目的其他学期和培训阶段被证明是非常有用和可复制的。设计和推广双语空间，使英语成为医学教学中内容和语言相结合的策略势在必行。

This study sets two main objectives to address this research gap in CLIL materials design: to identify and to evaluate teachers’ approaches to text modification. The study focuses on four secondary teachers who teach non-language subjects to grades 7–9 in Finland, in English. The qualitative data consist of interviews and teaching materials designed by the participants. A review of over 60 studies is conducted in order to provide a framework for the evaluation of input modification strategies. The studies indicate that elaboration devices seem to enhance L2 comprehension and vocabulary development. The same cannot be as confidently stated about the effect of simplification. This study identifies all three main approaches to text modification in the participants’ teaching materials. Regardless of their previous teaching experience, most teachers use elaboration strategies when adjusting the linguistic and cognitive level of texts. More experienced teachers seem to avoid using simplification strategies, whilst less experienced teachers adopt a wide range of strategies. All participants use some types of rediscursification strategy. This study can provide the professionals in the field of CLIL education with an insight into the reality of how CLIL practitioners modify materials. The results may also contribute to CLIL teacher education and in-service training by informing teachers of the commonly used input modification strategies and raising awareness of the effectiveness of these techniques.

This paper reports an exploratory sequential mixed-methods and action research study of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology at a state institution in Florencia (Colombia). The study aimed to explore the implementation of CLIL in a virtual learning environment and its implications for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning during the health emergency caused by COVID-19. The data collection instruments were a single interview, observations, reflective journals, classroom artefacts, and a questionnaire. The findings reveal that the CLIL methodology contributes to English learning. Thus, the results show the significant role of keywords and content vocabulary, contextualized lessons, assignments, and virtual games in fostering the students’ listening skills, oral production, motivation, critical thinking, and development of cultural awareness. Hence, the outcomes demonstrate that the integration of virtual tools benefits the CLIL methodology in the virtual learning environment. Finally, the paper contains evidence supporting the implementation of CLIL, the contributions to EFL learning, and suggestions for further studies.

Computer science is regarded one of the subjects best suited for teaching with ICT-supported CLIL, as the English language is the lingua franca of computing, and the computer science classroom is an ideal place to apply digital technologies. This paper aims to explore the role of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in the teaching and learning of computer science in English – focusing especially on using information and communication technology (ICT). For this purpose, a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA protocol was carried out. A total of 31 documents published in the period 2011–2021 on CLIL in computer science and ICT in the CLIL environment were analysed. In this article, first, the advantages of using CLIL in computer science will be discussed, followed by illustrating the benefits and challenges of applying ICT in CLIL lessons. Finally, trends in research on technology enhanced CLIL will be presented, outlining existing findings as well as identifying research gaps in the field. The most important shortcomings and difficulties outlined in the related literature are the limited research on both CLIL and ICT supported CLIL in the subject of computer science, the inconsistent terminology for using ICT in CLIL, and the need in CLIL teacher training courses for the effective use of digital technologies. Therefore, the findings of this paper identify a variety of future research agendas in order to increase the effective, ICT-supported CLIL in the subject of computer science.

This study was conducted in two phases. The first one is the preliminary phase aimed at tailoring the standard curriculum based on learners’ needs analysis. The second one is the main phase, intended to evaluate the tailored curriculum based on teachers’ views. The participants in the preliminary phase of the study (tailoring the curriculum) were 346 non-native male and female undergraduate students who received the same Pre-Requisite General English course at their first semester in university. They were studying different majors, including Accounting, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The participants in the main phase (evaluation of the tailored curriculum by teachers) were 10 non-native male (7) and female (3) teachers who taught the Pre-Requisite General English course through the tailored curriculum. The findings of the study supported the hypothesis that the teachers have a positive attitude toward using the tailored curriculum in teaching the Pre-Requisite General English course. It seems that the implementation of this tailored program, which is based on learner-needs-analysis, can enhance the effectiveness of the English for General Purposes (EGP) course, compared to the standard one.

Los adultos chilenos poseen bajo dominio del idioma inglés respecto a sus pares de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE). Para mejorar estos resultados, es necesario diversificar las metodologías de enseñanza de dicha lengua, especialmente en la Educación Superior Técnico Profesional (ESTP). El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el efecto de una estrategia didáctica multimodal para la enseñanza de vocabulario oral aislado en inglés, usando lengua de señas chilena (LSCh) y alfabeto manual. Se utilizó una metodología cuantitativa y un diseño cuasi experimental con pre y postest. Se conformaron dos grupos de 30 participantes cada uno, con edades entre 16 y 44 años, a quienes se evaluó el vocabulario productivo oral. El grupo experimental recibió la estrategia didáctica diseñada y el grupo control recibió enseñanza tradicional. Los análisis realizados concluyen que la estrategia implementada en el grupo experimental produjo un efecto positivo en la producción oral de vocabulario, comparado con el grupo control.

Previous literature has focused on investigating the use of sources in the classroom and how much they contribute to building a coherent mental representation of the texts. These studies explain how integration from multiple document sources occurs; however, their results are limited to the first language and do not inform about the types of these sources or how they are used. In this sense, the objective of this case study is to identify the types of sources used in four courses of a student exchange program in a Chilean University. The data was collected through focus groups with sixty students and in-depth interviews with four professors to determine in what sense the type of document selected could contribute to the learning process. A content analysis was carried out using Nvivo 12 to report on the pedagogical implications of using these sources in a Spanish L2 teaching setting.
