I is wo h men ioning ha i consis s o he c ea ion, p esen a ion and applica ion o a
WebQues in a CLIL en i onmen , wi h de elopmen a he Colegio Hispano B i ánico
(La Laguna, Tene i e). Fo his, a comple e lea ning si ua ion has been c ea ed and
ca ied ou in he same way ha i would be de eloped in a adi ional way in he
class oom, bu ins ead o applying i in his way, he a o emen ioned p og amming has
been adap ed and ans e ed o a websi e, which has been c ea ed o ha pu pose. On
his websi e, we ind all he ools and explana ions necessa y o ca y ou wha is
p oposed, ei he in he class oom o om home, an aspec o highligh i you wan o
use me hodologies such as Flipped Class oom, online educa ion, among o he s.
The opic chosen o he lea ning si ua ion has been "Machines". The choice o he opic
is jus i ied by he con inui y in e ms o he agenda es ablished o he s uden s. P io o
his opic hey ha e lea ned abou "Ene gies", so machines a e pe ec ly associa ed as a
na u al con inui y in he eaching-lea ning p ocess o s uden s.
I is impo an o shed ligh on he ac ha he s uden s who a e going o use he

al hough hey a e used o wo king wi h ha language in o he subjec s ha a e

In e ms o ac i i ies, he e a e a my iad o op ions included due o he ac ha di e si y

can be ound on he websi e a e om a e age o inno a i e ones, including some, such
as ideos, online games, explana ions, a book c ea ed o he occasion, c ea ion o mind

Jus i ica ion
I has been decided o ca y ou his hesis in a CLIL en i onmen because he English
language lea ning is mo e and mo e p e alen and no o ious, mo e and mo e
go e nmen s and schools a e ad oca ing an imme si e eaching o he language. On his
occasion, he Science subjec has been used o apply he CLIL me hodology, and,
speci ically, he opic o machines.
The abili y o de elop a second language opens a doo o oppo uni ies o he lea ne , i
helps you o acqui e no only ha language, bu also linguis ic s a egies ha you can
apply o subsequen lea ning, i gi es s uden s a globalizing cha ac e , cul u ally ich, an
app oach di e en . The e o e, h oughou his wo k, an a emp is made o expose,
de end and explain he cha ac e is ics and unc ionali ies o CLIL lea ning h ough a
WebQues .
Many o he ac i i ies p esen ed and de eloped h ough he WebQues seek he
in ensi e use o he speaking skill. Bea ing in mind ha speaking is one o he mos
impo an skills, one o he less wo ked and causes mo e p oblems and us a ion, was
decided o pu an ex a e o on ha . The use o he speaking skill will, in he end,
depend on he school and he eache who eaches he lesson. In my opinion, he mos

sui able o a school, and om an ea ly age, a e he mos addi i e models, because i is
i ally impo an ha child en g ow and ad ance wi h bo h languages, and ha li le by
li le, hey use mo e he L2. I is me ely impossible o a s uden o only use L2 om he
i s momen due o he ac ha mo e eache s and p epa a ion is equi ed in o de o
de elop such an educa ional sys em. I do no concei e o an educa ion sys em in which
he i s yea s only L1 is wo ked, and hen all o sudden lea ne s jus wo k wi h L2.
Middle poin is whe e we can ind he ic o y, and ha goes by showing hem he wo
languages, wi h L1 dominance, and as hey p og ess, L2 will be used mo e and mo e,
because in he end, CLIL is ha , no pu e bilingual educa ion.
Finally, eedback is sough om he s uden s, in addi ion o he one who w i es hese

Times go by, he e a e changes and adap a ions. On his basis, he e a e some changes
ha a e di ec ly applicable and o he s ha a e pa o he way o de elop ce ain ideas.
This ime we a e dealing wi h he CLIL concep , which has been swa ming among us
o some ime. Once legisla ion en e s e e y idea, i goes om p ojec o eali y, and
his is wha we ha e been seeing in ecen yea s, as e lec ed in ORDEN de 11 de junio
de 2010, po la que se es ablecen los equisi os pa a la solici ud y au o ización de la
modalidad de ap endizaje in eg ado de lengua inglesa y con enidos de o as á eas o
ma e ias (Con en and Language In eg a ed Lea ning), en cen os públicos que impa en
enseñanza básica en la Comunidad Au ónoma de Cana ias.
As Geo ge Cou os said, “ echnology will no eplace g ea eache s bu echnology in
he hands o g ea eache s can be ans o ma ional”. I we ind such s a emen s, i is
no hing mo e han he ac ha i is me ely ine i able o associa e inno a i e o mode n
educa ion wi h English / CLIL oday. I is also pu ely ue ha , al hough ew, he e a e
s ill de ac o s o his ype o educa ion, since hey conside ha knowing he language
o he coun y whe e you li e is enough, wi hou aking in o accoun he globaliza ion
p ocess ha he plane has been li ing h ough. o e he pas 30 yea s
Mo e and mo e go e nmen ins i u ions ha e implemen ed language imme sion
alongside he mo he ongue. Manuel Megías Rosa (2012) a i ms ha i is a global
end, wha happens is ha in ce ain a eas i is wo king o is being implemen ed wi h
mo e o ce. I hink i depends on he cha ac e is ics o he con ex s. I mean no only
linguis ic bu educa ional policies in gene al.
The pu pose o in oducing CLIL in he cen es is none o he han making he school-
age popula ion bilingual. I is in e es ing o no e he ac ha seeking ha linguis ic
abili y is no some hing o ally new o inno a i e as such.
The need o know wo o mo e languages is no new. His o ical documen s indica e ha
indi iduals and whole communi ies a ound he wo ld ha e been compelled o lea n
o he languages o cen u ies and hey ha e done so o a a ie y o easons -- language
con ac , coloniza ion, ade, educa ion h ough a colonial language (e.g., La in, G eek),
and in e ma iage (Lewis, 1977).
Taking ha in o accoun we can add ha , he Linguis ic Socie y o Ame ica a i ms ha
a bilingual pe son is someone who speaks wo languages and ha many people may
become bilingual by acqui ing hose wo languages a he same ime in childhood o by
lea ning a second language some ime a e acqui ing hei i s language.
This ac can b ing a gumen s o and agains in a deba e abou when and how a pe son
can be conside ed bilingual. I someone manages o ce i y a C1-C2 le el acco ding o
he CEFR, is ha conside ed as bilingual? Can only someone bo n in an en i onmen
wi h bo h languages be bilingual? De ac o s will a i m his, while some suppo e s
will say ha , as long as you can be p o icien in ha language, i will be enough o be
conside ed bilingual, whe he o no you we e bo n in an en i onmen wi h bo h
languages.
Siguán and Mackey (1987) de ine he bilingual as " he pe son who, in addi ion o hei
i s language, has a simila compe ence in ano he language and who is capable o
using bo h in any ci cums ance wi h simila e iciency". I belie e ha such a de ini ion
o bilingualism would b ing us close o he ac ha , h ough he CLIL me hodology, a
pe son who has no had, so o speak, he luck o being bo n in an en i onmen wi h wo
languages can each his ce ain le el ha b ings you close o he a o emen ioned
concep .
The ac onym CLIL was coined in he 1990s, so i al eady has i s way in socie y.
Al hough i is a concep wi h ime, i has no always enjoyed he same popula i y as
oday, which is when i seems o ha e he mos ecogni ion. The eason o i s
inc easing use was ha “i placed bo h language and non-language con en in a o m o
con inuum, wi hou implying p e e ence o one o he o he ” (Ma sh, 2002: 58).
I is wo h men ioning ha some educa ional me hodologies ha a e ied o be
p esen ed as inno a i e, u u is ic o no el a e no hing mo e han a esu gence o
adap a ions o pas me hodologies. I is well known ha some me hodologies ad oca e
he use o na u e as a means o eaching, eaching in open, na u al en i onmen s, bu
he e is e idence ha i was used ha way many yea s ago. To gi e s eng h o his
a gumen we ha e when 100 yea s ago, in he middle o he ube culosis ou b eak, in
1904, hey opened he “Waldschule ü k änkliche Kinde ” o “ o es school o sick
child en” a ound Be lin. Wi h his I wan o ea i m he idea ha , whe e we hink ha i
is inno a ing, pe haps i is using a ehash o some hing p e iously used, wi hou his
meaning any hing nega i e.
The e o e, a ques ion needs posing: wha do we in end o achie e wi h CLIL? Well, o
ob ain an exac answe we would ha e o ask all he eache s in cha ge o said
me hodology, bu b oadly speaking, we could allow ou sel es o a i m ha wha CLIL
ies o do is ha he compe ence o being able o each and lea n subjec s ha a e
no mally augh in he mo he ongue and now i is done in English i becomes
some hing common, e e y day, easily accessible o any lea ne . This, as i has been
