This edited volume provides the follow up to Erling et al.’s (2021) Multilingual Learning and Language Supportive Pedagogies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The strategies put forward in Volume 1 included multilingual pedagogies that allow students to draw on their full linguistic repertoires, translanguaging and other language-supportive pedagogies. While there is great traction in the pedagogical strategies proposed in Volume 1, limited progress has been made in terms of multilingual education in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Thus, the main focus of this follow-up volume is to explore the question of why former colonial languages and monolingual approaches continue to be used as the dominant languages of education, even when we have multilingual pedagogies and materials that could and do work and despite substantial evidence that learners have difficulties when taught in a language they do not understand. This book offers perspectives to answer this question through focusing on the internal and external pressures which impact the capacity for implementing multilingual strategies in educational contexts at regional, national and community levels. Chapters provide insights into how to better understand and work within these contemporary constraints and challenge dominant monoglossic discourses which inhibit the implementation of multilingual education in SSA. The volume focuses on three main areas which have proven to be stumbling blocks to the effective implementation of multilingual education to date, namely: assessment, ideology and policy. An insightful collection that will be of great interest to academics, researchers and practitioners in the fields of language education, language-in-education policy and educational assessments in the wide range of multilingual contexts in Africa.

Hüttner and Dalton-Puffer present research demonstrating the tangible benefits of the long-term sustainability of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) on participants’ educational outcomes. The chapters outline the argument that the main benefit of CLIL lies in the fact that learners acquire specific literacy practices linked to the curricular subjects they study via the CLIL language and that these go beyond what is commonly learned and studied within a foreign language curriculum. The book provides an orientation as to how such disciplinary literacy or literacies can be conceptualised and understood, and introduces several models that have served to make disciplinary literacies graspable and visible. The various chapters showcase research and development projects from different geographical and educational contexts and therefore elaborate ideas around disciplinary literacies from different vantage points. This book aims at a wide and varied readership, including graduate students studying applied linguistics, foreign language education, and/or teaching methodology; language teachers; content subject teachers with an interest in the linguistic side of their subject; and teacher trainers.

Towards Deeper Learning In Primary Clil written by Fay Chen and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2025-03-04 with Education categories.
Chen proposes a disciplinary literacy (DL) approach to Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) planning and teaching in her book, in answer to concerns expressed by some about the growth of CLIL internationally in recent decades. The concerns regarding CLIL schools circle around the feasibility of the policy, particularly regarding the challenges of teaching and learning new subject content in an additional language in primary education. In response, the author tackles the fundamental questions surrounding CLIL implementation with a focus on fostering deeper learning using examples from the Taiwanese context. The chapters delve into the key planning issues in primary education CLIL and explore the language teaching awareness of CLIL teachers in various subject areas. In addition to proposing a DL approach, the book also discusses the necessity for teachers’ awareness of subject-specific literacies in curriculum planning, highlighting the importance of scaffolding primary students to achieve deeper learning in CLIL classrooms. As a whole, Chen stimulates discourse and research in CLIL planning and teaching, thereby informing CLIL teacher education. This book is an essential read for researchers and research students interested in deeper learning and bilingual and multilingual education programs. It is also a viable resource for teacher educators and teachers who teach in multilingual programs and primary education.

Looking at both English Medium Instruction (EMI) and multimodality in higher education, this edited volume bridges the gap between the two contexts by offering various new insights into fundamentals in multilingual education, EMI discourse and current teaching practices in internationalised contexts. Current demands in communication, especially in higher-education contexts, require examining EMI from a multimodal perspective with the aim of giving explicit attention to modern discourse practices. The contributors reflect on the principles guiding EMI and multimodality and their application in higher education using both practical examples and data-driven evidences. They discuss EMI multimodal discourse from an empirical perspective to unveil communicative practices in internationalised higher-education contexts; and exemplify classroom applications and ESP and EAP pedagogical practices that promote multimodal competence in higher education. The contributors provide solid theoretical foundations, key principles, research evidence and pedagogical implications that inform current methodologies and practices for EMI, ESP and EAP, as well as multimodality in higher education. This volume on EMI and multimodality in higher education will have broad appeal for researchers worldwide from various fields of expertise within education and applied linguistics.

This book explores the issue of “integration” in content and language integrated learning (CLIL), and addresses the need for effective content and language integration by proposing the thematic-pattern-based “Concept+Language Mapping” (CLM) approach. Peichang He explores effective integration of content and language learning during the instruction of content subjects using students’ additional language as the medium of instruction. The volume introduces the contextual background of a large-scale school-university collaboration CLIL research project and builds the conceptual framework of a thematic-pattern-based CLM pedagogy by drawing on the language-based theory of learning (Halliday, 1993), the construct of thematic patterns (Lemke, 1990), and the recent development of genre-based pedagogy (Lin, 2016; Rose & Martin, 2012). The research probes the design of thematic-pattern-based CLM teaching resources and examines the impact of the CLM pedagogy on students’ development of language and content knowledge during their learning of different junior and senior English Medium Instructed subjects. The author enhances the conceptual framework based on the ongoing research findings and the burgeoning literature on translanguaging practice (García & Li, 2014; Lemke & Lin, 2022; Lin, 2019) and proposes a trans-disciplinary plurilingual thematic-pattern-based CLM approach. The book concludes with a discussion on some promising future research orientations including a transdisciplinary plurilingual thematic-pattern-based CLM approach for CLIL sustainability, catering for learner diversity in CLIL, and teacher professional development in thematic-pattern-based CLM practice. The book shows readers the design of CLM materials and activities which are demonstrated through classroom interactions in lessons of different subjects and grades for students of diverse cognitive abilities and linguistic backgrounds. This insightful volume will be of interest to researchers and trainee teachers exploring pedagogical approaches to CLIL, plurilingual, and transdisciplinary education and will provide pedagogical implications for teachers of both language and content subjects in schools worldwide.
