Incorporating Cross-Cultural Videoconferencing to Enhance Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) at the Tertiary Level
Loranc-Paszylk, Barbara

This paper attempts to provide evidence of cross-cultural videoconferencing affordances with reference to a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) context at the tertiary level. At the core of CLIL lie student-centered paradigms of teaching methodologies that invite task and project work and authentic and meaningful communication, while also providing numerous opportunities for intercultural learning. The aim of this paper is to discuss the results of collaboration that took place in spring 2015 between two cohorts, namely post-primary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher trainees at two universities: the University of Bielsko-Biala in Poland and the University of León in Spain. The main objective of the task was to develop lesson plans and EFL teaching materials that included Polish and Spanish cultural content, respectively, and in addition, to provide feedback on the work sent by the partner university team during videoconferencing sessions. The results of the project illustrated in the self-reported data suggest that within the CLIL methodological framework it was the cultural and cognitive dimension that appeared to benefit most from incorporating the cross-cultural videoconferencing into the course.
