Fernández-Sanjurjo, Javier; Fernández-Costales, Alberto; Arias Blanco, José Miguel – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2019
This paper investigates students' performance in content-subjects in the framework of CLIL programmes in Spain. So far, CLIL research has focused primarily on language attainment in the L2 and the L1, but students' achievements as regards content-subjects have been largely ignored. Competence in Science in the L1 is analysed by comparing pupils…

Savard, Annie; Manuel, Dominic – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2015
Statistics is a domain that is taught in Mathematics in all school levels. We suggest a potential in using an interdisciplinary approach with this concept. Thus the development of the understanding of a situation might mean to use both mathematical and statistical reasoning. In this paper, we present two case studies where two middle school…
