Abstract (en)

Lately, the use of CLIL in classrooms has been expanding due to the interest in educating bilingual children. In Colombia, this approach is becoming known and is being applied in many schools, mainly bilingual. This article presents a case study that sought to investigate how some of the characteristics of a content-based English class can be taken into account to implement CLIL at CBS to contribute to the education offered to these students. The study was supported by the latest theoretical constructs of CLIL from representative authors such as Coyle, Hood, and Marsh (2010), among others. The data consisted of six videotaped classes from fifth grade, a class observation form, a student questionnaire, an informal interview, a teacher’s journal, and other documents such as the teacher’s lesson plans. The results were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using Seliger and Shohamy (1990) techniques. The study revealed that the observed classes met several positive standards that can be used when implementing CLIL at the school such as language methodology and assessment. It was also found that specific CLIL characteristics such as the 4Cs and the language components need to be widely understood and worked by teachers and students before implementing CLIL at the school.

Abstract (es)

Últimamente el uso de CLIL en los salones de clase se ha incrementado debido al interés en educar niños bilingües alrededor del mundo. En Colombia, esta metodología se ha vuelto popular y está siendo usada en varios colegios, principalmente bilingües. El presente artículo explica el desarrollo de un Estudio de Caso adelantado con el fin de investigar cómo se usa CLIL en el colegio CBS para contribuir con la educación bilingüe ofrecida a los estudiantes. El estudio se construyó teniendo en cuenta las últimas teorías sobre CLIL desarrolladas por autores importantes, como Coyle, Hood y Marsh (2010) entre otros. Los datos se recolectaron utilizando videos, un formato de observación, un cuestionario para los estudiantes y un diario que llevaba el profesor. Los resultados se analizaron cualitativa y cuantitativamente utilizando las técnicas de Seliger and Shohamy (1990). Los resultaron revelaron que las clases observadas cumplen con la mayoría de los estándares de una clase de Inglés en términos metodológicos de la enseñanza y de evaluación de un idioma extranjero. De igual manera, se encontró que las 4C’s y los componentes del lenguaje deben ser entendidos y trabajados por los docentes antes de implementar CLIL en los colegios.
