Christian G. K. Hahn; Henrik Saalbach; Clemens Brunner; Roland H. Grabner – Frontline Learning Research, 2025
Within the research on bilingual learning, first studies have revealed that content learned in one language is retrieved more slowly when participants have to switch language from instruction to testing (i.e., language-switching costs, LSC). These costs are attributed to language-dependent knowledge representations. However, the cognitive…

Roussel, Stéphanie; Tricot, André; Sweller, John – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: It is frequently implicitly assumed that advantages in language acquisition when learning content through a second language exceed the disadvantages of reduced content acquisition. Aims: Based on cognitive load theory, that assumption was tested experimentally. The theory is concerned with techniques for reducing extraneous working…

Tamara Roth; Franz X. Bogner – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Bilingual education could solve many challenges introduced by an increasingly internationalised education system. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), in particular, may equip students with the necessary cultural and communicative skills to succeed in today's academic environment. However, it is not yet clear how CLIL can be employed…

While the multiliteracies framework proposed two decades ago has had a considerable effect on the field of second language (L2) teaching and learning, its successful implementation has been found challenging, both on the conceptual and practical levels. In this paper, we discuss the main hurdles of putting the approach into practice and argue for…

Siepmann, Philipp; Rumlich, Dominik; Matz, Frauke; Römhild, Ricardo – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2023
CLIL programmes are firmly established in German schools. While empirical studies have provided insights into aspects such as language- and content-related achievement, motivation, and cultural learning, little is known about classroom practices and students' perceptions thereof. Using ADiBE's instruments, this mixed-method study explores how…

This article claims to provide evidence on whether content-subject and cognitive achievement vary in CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and non-CLIL classrooms in the framework of a newly introduced CLIL programme in Italy. A standardized and validated science test (TIMSS) was administered to a sample 988 fourth-grade students. The…

Meyerhöffer, Nina; Dreesmann, Daniel C. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
This article presents the development and testing of a content-based video exchange model as a motivating means to introduce lower secondary English learners to English as the language of science. The central goal was that students reach the required curricular content knowledge despite learning some of the content in a foreign language. The model…

Kuhn-Brown, Kerstin – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2021
The creation of pedagogical activities in line with genre-based approaches has substantially shaped world language curriculum design and instruction, as seen in Martin (2002a), Crane (2006), and Maxim (2004); however, an insignificant number of principled guidelines suggests exactly how to achieve these pedagogical goals (Kubota, 2016;…

Inmaculada Pineda; Wenli Tsou; Fay Chen – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Glocalization is the local adaptation of global trends, and though it has been extensively studied in other fields, there has been a lower emphasis on it in pedagogy. Glocalization is especially relevant in education given that pedagogical approaches to language learning such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and English as a…

Montaner-Villalba, Salvador; Lander, Bruce; Morgana, Valentina; Leier, Vera; Selwood, Jaime; Einum, Even; Redondo, Sergio Esteban – Research-publishing.net, 2020
There is no doubt that Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and mobile mediated communication are linked as technology continues to transform the way we communicate with each other. Campbell (2019) analyzed how mobile communication evolved into portable devices to form a complete system of mobile media, reshaping the fabric of our social lives…
