Abstract

The importance of CLIL and the great interest around it can be understood by the new demands in education and the changing social and economic forces that affect the use of languages in applied contexts today. The TFM here presented intends to establish the key elements of CLIL methodology, reviewing the theoretical and methodological frameworks informing CLIL methodology in order to identify its basic characteristics for all material designs to fulfill. The main aim of this paper is to examine to what extent they are applied in a text-book for History used in CLIL- learning today in a 2nd year of Compulsory Secondary Education course. For that, a list of ten criteria has been developed to be used as a relevant tool for teachers when choosing a potentially effective CLIL textbook for their classes. They will follow the guidelines of two existing CLIL models in terms of SLA and content support. Finally, possible niches for improvement will tried to be detected, always in order to increase students’ interest for the subject and to help their content and language learning.<br /> Vela Rodrigo, Alberto Ángel; Delgado Crespo, Violeta; Lafuente Millán, Enrique

THEORETICAL AND CURRICULAR FRAMEWORK The impo ance o CLIL and he g ea in e es a ound i can be unde s ood by he new demands in educa ion and he changing social and economic o ces ha a ec he use o languages in applied con ex s oday. We li e in an inc easingly globalized socie y in which economic and social exchanges ha e a signi ican impac on he lea ning o English as lingua anca, which is concei ed as a di icul mission by many educa ional sys ems a ound he wo ld. In ac , he Eu opean Union policies e en ad oca e he use and command o wo o he languages apa om he na i e one ( e lec ed in he 22nd May 2019 Council o Eu ope Recommenda ion) wha has d i en CLIL o be seen as one o he mos app op ia e ools o achie e his objec i e in he as es way. Bu , wha exac ly is CLIL? 2.1. Wha is CLIL? Con en and Language In eg a ed Lea ning (CLIL) is de ined as a dual- ocused educa ional app oach in which and addi ional language, such as English in his case, se es as a ehicula ool o lea ning and eaching bo h con en and language (Ball e . Al., 2015:5) These wo componen s a e in e ela ed, e en i a deepe a en ion is pu on one o ano he a a speci ic ime. Tha is o say, CLIL is no a new o m o language educa ion bu a usion o con en and language lea ning in an inno a i e way, o e coming he me e eaching o a subjec in English. I is hen an educa ional dual- ocused app oach ha uses se e al o eign language me hodologies o se e he eaching o speci ic subjec con en in a second language. As Eu ydice, he Eu opean publishe and desc ip o o na ional educa ion sys ems, indica ed in 2006, his wo old aims calls o he de elopmen o a special app oach o eaching a subjec wi h he suppo o a o eign language and no despi e a o eign language. The e m CLIL was adop ed in 1991 wi hin he Eu opean Educa ional Space con ex o desc ibe and design good p ac ice in di e en school bilingual en i onmen s whe e lea ning and eaching we e de eloped in a second language (Ma sh, Malje s and Ha iala, 2001). Bu CLIL is much mo e han bilingual educa ion, because i enables lea ne s o mas e speci ic language e minology and p epa es hem o u u e s udies/wo king li e h ough he suppo o o mal and in o mal language and cogni ion. This way, CLIL is 7 pu suing he acquisi ion o a wide ange o subjec compe ences ( om His o y, o example) and a he same ime he imp o emen o a second language. Bu since con en has always in ol ed language and ice e sa, he in e es in CLIL lies on he in e p e a ion o he wo d ‘in eg a ion’, which indica es he eache is esponsible p o iding language suppo and sca olding cogni ion. 2.2. Wha CLIL model do we use? CLIL in A agon is egula ed by he BRIT-Model in O de ECD/823/2018, o 18 h May. This model o Linguis ic Compe ence o and in Fo eign Languages mus espond o he aining needs o s uden s wi h he aim o a o ing and de elop he necessa y communica i e compe ence in o eign languages o each he B2 le el o he Common Eu opean F amewo k o Re e ence o Languages a he end o compulso y schooling. Since CLIL is always con en -d i en, i in ol es di e en models which can be applied in a a ie y o ways wi h di e se kind o lea ne s. Maybe one o he mos well-known is he 4 Cs Model (Coyle, Hood and Ma sh, 2010), which is a pedagogical app oach based on ou componen s: Con en , Communica ion, Cogni ion and Cul u e. This model builds on he syne gies o in eg a ing lea ning (cogni ion and con en ) and language lea ning (communica ion and cul u es). Acco ding o his model and e e ing o Con en , s uden s lea n an academic subjec (eg: Egyp ian a ) h ough an addi ional language suppo and hey ha e communica ion as he cen al poin o con en and cogni ion. Fo os e ing Communica ion, s uden s ecei e language ins uc ion, such as speci ic ocabula y suppo , al hough he syllabus is no language o ien ed. (eg: he language o easoning: why was Nubia impo an o Egyp ?). CLIL p ac i ione s mus also conside Cogni ion when planning a lea ning sequence: he ins uc ion mus de elop c i ical hinking, which is possible p o iding ex s and ac i i ies o s uden s o e lec and answe ques ions ha imply a easoning p ocess. Fo example, when hypo hesizing, hey could be asked a ques ion conside ing he concep ual connec ions hey could be eady o do, such as hinking abou wha would ha e happened i he Egyp ians had no de eloped an alphabe . We could use Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956) o iden i y di e en le els o c i ical hinking since cogni ion is e e ed o he highe o de 8 and lowe o de hinking skills. Those le els o c i ical hinking a e classi ied in o le els o complexi y and speci ici y, acco ding o cogni i e, a ec i e and senso y domains. Lea ning a highe le els depends on he acquisi ion o knowledge and skills o ce ain lowe le els. To wo k cul u al aspec s s uden s a e encou aged o see hemsel es as ci izens o he wo ld, so hey can de elop an in e na ional awa eness and global unde s anding o His o y. (G ound and Gue e o, 2014:32). Tha is, i we go back o he example men ioned abo e, lea ne s could be equi ed o ind ou whe he he e is an e idence o Egyp ian a in hei coun y and how i a i ed he e, how Egyp ians in luenced hei philosophy and medicine, which le e s o he alphabe come om Egyp , e c.). Ne e heless, he e is no a single way o mee ing and eaching CLIL. O he au ho s de eloped hei own model based on he di icul y o he asks, such as Ball e . al. (2015). The Compe ency model (Ball, Kelly and Clegg, 2015) is ocused basically on planning con en s, language and p ocedu es a di e en le els in o de o g ade he di icul y o he asks. This way, language and con en s a e bo h a ehicle o he de elopmen o speci ic compe ences in e e y subjec . The in ellec ual challenge o CLIL implies a cogni i e in eg a ion ha combines di e en ypes o knowledge: ac ual, concep ual, and p ocedu al. One way o in eg a ing hese h ee dimensions consis s on using lea ning asks, designing ou ins uc ion a ound hem and assessing ou s uden s acco ding o he esul s hey ge a e wo king on hem. This concep o ask comes om he eaching-lea ning p ocess o o eign languages, in which asks a e p esen ed as a ool o lea ning and a way o con e ge wi h he cu iculum. To design a ask o CLIL can seem a di icul wo k, bu i is possible o do i in a e y simila way we design a ask o an EFL class oom (Ellis, 2003). A CLIL ask mus ha e a clea and speci ic objec i e wha s uden s mus do and wha i is o ) o example, s uden s need o p epa e a pos e abou he Fall o Rome highligh ing hei main ac o s and i s consequences o Eu ope du ing he nex h ee cen u ies. They will p esen i o ally in on o he class a he end o he mon h). Ins uc ions o lea ne ac i i y mus be e y clea and be isually a ac i e and simple. I will always equi e in e ac ion among s uden s o hem o p oduce hei own language, which will acili a e hei unde s anding o he concep s o he subjec . Mo eo e , in CLIL, any ask will ha e a iple p ojec ion in h ee di e en 9 dimensions: hey will each concep ual con en , by means o p ocedu al choices (Ball e . Al., 2015) bu using speci ic language om he discou se con en . So, con en , p ocedu e and language will ha e o be conside ed as an in eg a ed ype o con en , ha is, a means o an end, which is ha o de eloping speci ic compe ences o he His o y a ea. Fo his eason, con en , p ocedu e and language will ha e o be aken in o accoun when bo h designing ools and planning p io i ies. The e a e di e en ways o concep ualizing hese men ioned h ee dimensions. Ball, Kelly, and Clegg (2015) p oposed a model using he example o a mixing desk. The CLIL eache will ha e o egula e he di e en di icul y ac o s in a ask in e e y momen o he didac ic sequence, also choosing o which dimension he/she gi es p io i y depending on he lea ning objec i es. The dimension wi h he highes olume is he dimension ha he eache makes he mos ele an . This model is alid o ine- uning e alua ion bu also o designing asks and es ima ing hei di icul y, in a simila way he Cummins ma ix (1984) does: used o measu e he combina ion o cogni i e and linguis ic le els o he di e en asks o a uni . Fig.1 The CLIL mixing desk. (Ball e . al., 2015) I we jus hink in he adi ional way o lea ning, he app en ice is concei ed as a passi e subjec ha ecei es con en ansmi ed by he eache . Tha is, he app en ice should no build his con en , bu should ep oduce i . Bu i he CLIL eache u ns up he p ocedu al and language olume con ol by, o example, eading a ele an ex by u ns aloud (eg. he all o Rome), d awing s uden s’ a en ion o speci ic language (Ba ba ians, socioeconomic ensions, s a e c isis, e c.), elabo a ing a ocabula y lis in class and w i ing a ex , he s uden s may in eg a e ha con en mo e deeply. 16 2.2.4.

In o de o explo e he idea o he ocus on o m, we can d aw on Ellis (2001), who di e en ia es be ween Focus-onFo mS, which is he adi ional app oach o g amma eaching, and Focus-on-Fo m which is d awing he a en ion o he lea ne o language while doing a communica i e ac i i y o ocused on meaning. Fo Pé ez-Vidal (2007), mos CLIL lessons a e some imes oo communica i e, by which he means ha lessons end o d aw a en ion p ima ily o meaning and nego ia ion o meaning, lea ing language apa and using i as a me e ehicle o communica e and no as a goal i sel . E en ually, his will nega i ely a ec lea ne ou pu . In o de o p e en his and help lea ne s o ocus on o m, we need o equi e hem o p oduce comp ehensible ou pu , a he same ime as we p o ide nega i e eedback (Ma io i, 2006). These wo elemen s need o be in eg a ed in CLIL lessons i we wan ou lea ne s o communica e wi h e ec i i y, o wha we will also ha e o p o ide hem wi h eedback 2.2.5. E ec i e eedback in CLIL: assessmen o lea ning Ano he impo an aspec o conside is he ques ion o assessmen , since we ha e language and con en as key componen s. Gi en ha he e m ‘CLIL’ emphasizes bo h aspec s as i hey we e equal pa ne s, dese ing he same a en ion. To answe his ques ion we should hink o wha ype o CLIL sys em we a e implemen ing: so CLIL o ha d CLIL. So CLIL is ‘language led’, so he assessmen measu es will need o e lec his. The p oblem lies on how a language eache s should go in hei con en -based ex ension. Bu in Ha d CLIL, we canno alk abou assessing he language, gi en he subjec -based objec i es and o e all aims o he cu iculum. No mally, he p ocess-led endencies o CLIL gi e mo e impo ance o he p ac ice o con inuous and o ma i e assessmen and jus look a he aspec o he language pa icula i y in CLIL-based summa i e es ing, iden i ying he ways in which eache s can wa an ai ness o lea ne s being assessed in L2 (Ball, Kelly and 17 Clegg, 2015). Conside ing ou educa ional en i onmen , we will ha e o conside he B i - A agón egula ion, which says language should only be alued and assess posi i ely. This does no mean ha eache s should no e alua e i , bu hey canno penalize s uden s o hei aul s. Ne e heless, his is an unsol ed issue: because hey canno exp ess hemsel es well, hey canno de elop hei unde s anding o he concep s co ec ly. The O de ECD/65/2015, o 21s Janua y, which desc ibes he ela ionships be ween compe encies, con en and e alua ion c i e ia, indica es ha o e alua e complex con en , complex ools ha e o be used. This is he essence o CLIL: he p esence o compe ency con en s. (Ball e . Al, 2015).

How CLIL is his uni ?: analyzing ac i i ies h ough he c i e ia ool One o he main aspec s o p o iding language suppo is he analysis o he cogni i e and language demands o uni s and ma e ials. S uden s will ha e o pay a en ion o and ollow he sequence o ideas in he p esen a ion o he opic, gi ing impo ance o he signals he eache uses o make he o ganiza ion o he discou se clea . They will also need o lea n some new ocabula y and o use i along wi h he necessa y g amma o pe o m speci ic communica i e unc ions when alking in g oups. To achie e all his, he eache can alk in a way ha helps s uden s o unde s and, by g adua ing he di icul y acco ding o he 24 s uden and allowing hem o use L1 in a s a egic way when necessa y in o de o e hink con en . This idea o paying a en ion o language and o e hink i is closely connec ed o ou C i . 1 Lea ne s ge oppo uni ies o use ‘s e ched language’ (Gibbons, 2005:26) wi h momen s o s uggle ha push hem o e hink (Swain, 2000). Fo ha , ac i i ies such as n. 2 om p. 157 and n. 1 om p. 158 o ce s uden s o make a ein e p e a ion o he language hey ha e seen in he heo e ical body. They need o look a he pic u es o he domes ic sys em and jobs and o p oduce hei own message a e answe ing he ques ions. They also need o sea ch o in o ma ion o ein e p e i when w i ing a biog aphy o a alido in 17 h cen u y. The i s case would also be connec ed o C i . 4 con en p omo e wo k in g oups and pai s o use ex ended language. Gibbons, 2005:32. As o C i . 3 SS ge oppo uni ies o build on he esou ces o hei mo he ongue, using L1 in a s a egic way, (Gibbons, 2015:24) he e a e no ac i i ies in he uni o ien ed his way, as i could be an in oduc o y ac i i y ha allows hem o in es iga e he his o ical con ex in ad ance. This way, hey could seek o in o ma ion in hei mo he ongue (Spanish in ou case) on he In e ne o in lib a ies. The mos app op ia e ac i i y in he ex book o mee his c i e ion is placed a he beginning o he uni and is en i led Find Ou Abou : s uden s mus in es iga e some e ms wi hou any speci ic pa e n (eg. he scien i ic e olu ion, he Spanish Golden Age, e c.) The uni s a s wi h an a emp o p e ious knowledge ac i a ion h ough ques ions ha os e e lec ion, bu his is no exclusi e o he CLIL me hodology bu o asks in gene al. CLIL is eally no hing new. I d aws on p inciples and p ocedu es ha a e associa ed wi h he communica i e app oach and meaning ul lea ning. We would also like o highligh some speci ic posi i e aspec s o he uni ha has li le o do wi h ou c i e ia bu we ind impo an o con en p esen a ion. This is he app op ia e use o appealing pic u es he book does, which a e e y isual and desc ip i e. Some o hem p esen con en suppo h ough language de ini ions o indica ions wi h a ows nea by (in oduc o y pages and p. 166, 168, 169) 25 Iconic desc ip o such as dialogue balloons, keys, s ai s o CD’s a e used o indica e he na u e o e e y ac i i y, which also helps a ge lea ne s o unde s and how o p oceed. The same e ec is p oduced by he use o schemas and diag ams, which make con en easie a i s glance (p. 158-159 wi h he li es o he Habsbu g and mos ele an ac s in hei ime, o p. 163 whe e we ind he poli ical sys em o he Uni ed P o inces). Bu all his isual suppo has e y li le o do wi h CLIL me hodology speci ically, since hey a e common o any kind o ac i i ies a ailable in mos o ex books om any subjec o oday. I would be mo e o ien ed owa ds i i hey in oduced mul imodali y in p esen ing inpu . Apa om diag ams, ac i i ies could gi e links o ideos (maybe au ho s could c ea e hei own ideos, images o exe cises wi h in e ac i e maps in a CD annexed). This way hey could make inpu comp ehensible (K ashen, 1982) and e en cla i y he con ex o he Ba oque h ough ilm ecommenda ion. Fo his pe iod o His o y he e a e ele an , in o ma i e ilms hey could wa ch in English wi h/wi hou sub i les such as Ba y Lyndon (1975), Ca a aggio (1986) o The man in he i on mask (1998). Sub i ling in he L2 se es also o enhancing inpu . A key aspec in CLIL is he suppo and ac i e pa icipa ion o he eache in he lea ning and eaching p ocess, bo h p esen ing con en and p o iding sca olding o con en and language when necessa y. None o he ac i i ies o he uni has been designed o wo k wi h he eache oge he , bu o wo k indi idually o in g oups o s uden s, conside ing he eache as a me e con olle (Ha me , 1991:236). The uni mee s he cu iculum con en and assessmen c i e ia, bu i is e y a om mee ing CLIL equi emen s. Many speaking ac i i y ypes a e possible. As an example we can conside o ead a icles om his o ical magazines aloud and o ask o ins uc ions among g oups in o de o design a inal pos e . To o ganize ole-playing speci ic subjec scena ios (eg. a dialogue be ween a doc o om he 17 h cen u y and one o he 21s cen u y) o o ask open and closed ques ions om eache o class and om s uden o s uden (abou he consequences o a popula ion g ow h in he pas and now) can also be use ul. As a as C i . 2. is conce ned (ma e ials gi e access o comp ehensible inpu and models o new language h ough he same in o ma ion in a a ie y o ways (mul imodali y) K ashen, 1982), new language (especially new e minology) is in oduced wi hin he main ex h ough he use o bold le e s and i alics. Ano he way o p esen ing ocabula y in he 32 clouds o ac i i ies o ma ch he beginning o a sen ence wi h i s ending. This would acili a e also he use o L1 o exp ess some di icul ideas o concep s a i s , in o de o c ea e hei own wo king ools o help hem du ing he es o he lesson (such as glossa ies), while helping o make o mal/academic w i ing mo e explici . In his Uni we canno ind any ac i i ies o echniques which p o ide s uden s wi h he necessa y sca olding in he use o he language, such as sen ences s a e s, wo d lis s o subs i u ion ables, which can help s uden s in hei w i ing and speaking p ocess. All hese sugges ions could imp o e he quali y o he CLIL ex -book analyzed, since hey can help bo h he ma e ials and he eache o suppo con en , cogni ion and language in a mo e e icien way. A he same ime, hey would inc ease s uden s’ mo i a ion, since hey would pe cei e English no as an added di icul y, bu as a ehicle o ge ing access o ‘ex a’ knowledge and sou ces in in e na ional con ex s ha can help hem in hei u u e ca ee s. In he end, he main pu pose o CLIL is o p epa e s uden s o ace he wo ld o oday, in which English is omnip esen , so hey can pe cei e and use his language as a ehicula language wi h which o o e come any ba ie ha p e en s access o he in o ma ion and i s con en . 33 6.
