Content and language learning in primary schools: Instructional strategies and students' progress in aural/ oral proficiency

Abstract

Un creciente número de publicaciones demandan estudios que identifiquen los componentes y recursos pedagógicas que se usan en los programas Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). En respuesta a esta demanda, esta tesis analiza la calidad de enseñanza impartida en inglés a estudiantes en programas bilingües de segundo de primaria (edades comprendidas entre los 7 y los 8 años) con el objetivo de establecer el impacto de estos programas en el nivel de competencia del alumnado. Para ello, se seleccionaron cinco escuelas de primaria de una comunidad monolingüe (Sevilla, Andalucía). Siete cursos de segundo de primaria y sus 149 estudiantes fueron observados durante el periodo comprendido entre enero y junio del 2013. El instrumento de recogida de datos pre y post período de observación fue el Early Language Listening and Oral Proficiency Assessment (ELLOPA), que midió los niveles de competencia de comunicación oral de los estudiantes. El protocolo de observación Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) fue empleado como instrumento para medir las estrategias que incrementan el desarrollo de la lengua extranjera usadas por los 11 profesores de estas clases. El periodo observado fue de catorce semanas. Como dato adicional, el nivel de competencia del grupo de profesores también fue evaluado usando el Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (SOLOM). Para el análisis de los datos obtenidos se correlacionaron los resultados del SIOP y la competencia comunicativa final de los estudiantes. Finalmente, el nivel de competencia oral/auditiva en el desarrollo de la lengua inglesa que la muestra de estudiantes obtuvo durante la duración de este proyecto se correlacionó con la cantidad de estrategias usadas por los profesores para incrementar el desarrollo de la lengua extranjera. Los resultados fundamentales de esta tesis doctoral indican que todos los profesores participantes empleaban pocas estrategias para potenciar el desarrollo de la segunda lengua y conjuntamente al mismo tiempo incrementar el conocimiento de la asignatura. Además, los estudiantes en estas clases rindieron a un nivel más bajo en el dominio de la lengua inglesa del que las investigaciones indican que sería un resultado común en los estudiantes que han participado durante un mismo número de años en programas bilingües. Estos resultados identifican dos áreas significativas que necesitan mejorar en las clases estudiadas de CLIL. Una es la formación del profesorado, que necesita más formación en técnicas y estrategias de pedagogía básica para enseñar a un mismo tiempo el contenido de la asignatura y el segundo idioma, y la otra área es una mejora en su capacidad en el lenguaje académico de las asignaturas, que necesita desarrollarse de manera que los profesores puedan abordar con pericia todos los aspectos de sus programas.

In an e o o suppo and es ablish quali y assu ance and u he educa ional

English in hese p og ams is o en a hi d o ou h language (Tedick, Ch is ian, &

2.2.6 An Addi ional Op ion: CLIL
The ac onym CLIL (Con en and Language In eg a ed Lea ning) was coined in
Eu ope in he nine ies (Coyle, 1999) o desc ibe any dual- ocused ype o p og am

33
he p emise ha second language ins uc ion which is in eg a ed wi h con en ma e
has p o en o be mo e e ec i e han second language ins uc ion in isola ion
(Genesee, 1994). CLIL is conside ed o be dis inc om o he models o bilingual

and dynamic way, wi hou an implied p e e ence o ei he language, which e lec s a

unc ional as opposed o a na i e-like compe ence in he second language h ough
subjec con en lea ning wi hou al e ing na ional cu icula.
O he impo an di e ences be ween CLIL and imme sion educa ion es on
allowing a lesse command o he language o ins uc ion by CLIL eache s (Ha op
2011; Ruíz de Za obe & Lasagabas e , 2010). A minimum o a CEFR B2 le el is
ecommended o p og ams in Spain; howe e , eache s a he B1 le el we e allowed

aims o inc ease he numbe o eache s a ad anced le els (CEFR C1) o e ime.
O he examples o di e ences include s a ing wi h lowe amoun s o exposu e o he

ma e h ough he medium o a o eign language, o language eaching b inging

CLIL ins uc ion has a dual ocus: eaching p omo es he lea ning o con en

s a egies, he lea ne does no necessa ily need o ha e he English p o iciency le el

Teache s a e expec ed o adjus hei me hodology o ensu e ha he s uden s

do no simply p esen he con en and assume ha hei s uden s unde s and i . They
mus employ o he means which inc ease he comp ehensibili y o he subjec ma e
(such as g oup wo k, ask-based lea ning, conc e e examples, inc eased use o

35
A epo o how CLIL is being implemen ed h oughou Eu ope (Eu ydice
Repo , 2006) made i clea ha CLIL is s ill a om being a consolida ed and ully

97
The i s basic p inciple is o inc ease he comp ehensibili y o ins uc ion.
The lea ne mus unde s and he message ha is con eyed. Comp ehensible inpu is
a hypo hesis i s p oposed by K ashen (1981). He pu po s ha second language

language eache as someone who can make inpu comp ehensible o a non-na i e

ideal inpu o acqui ing a second language o be simila o he inpu ha young

in e es s, no oo complex, bu no s ic ly g aded. The c ea o s o he SIOP model
(Eche a ia, e al., 2008) desc ibe comp ehensible inpu as ins uc ion ha includes
app op ia ely le eled speech, gi es clea explana ions and modeling o academic
asks, and uses ins uc ional echniques and s a egies ha p o ide clues and
con ex s o meaning.
To make ins uc ion comp ehensible, eache s can s a lessons by building on
he s uden ’s p io knowledge. They can begin ac i i ies wi h wha s uden s al eady
know and use ac i i ies ha mo e s uden s om conc e e ideas o abs ac hough .
