[Special Symposium supported by the British Council]
Current Practices and Future Perspectives of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Japan
Chair:
Shigeru Sasajima (Saitama Medical University)
Symposists:
Makoto Ikeda (Sophia University)
Chantal Hemmi (British Council, Tokyo)
Teresa Reilly (British Council, Madrid)
Abstract:
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been gradually of great interest. CLIL is an umbrella term to include many types of teaching methods, but does not focus on language teaching only. It is now recognized that CLIL is an effective and interesting methodology and has potential to renovate language classrooms. In this symposium, after learning from the successful experience of a CLIL project in Spain, we report what is happening in Japan by showing the cases and discuss the issues of CLIL implementation. Sasajima talks about the current situations of CLIL in Japan and CLIL-typed programmes at Saitama Medical University and discusses how CLIL can possibly help change teachers' conceptions about teaching and students' learning. Reilly looks briefly at several of the major challenges we need to confront as we set out on the road of bilingual/CLIL teaching. She illustrates some examples of how in Spain they met these challenges particularly through looking at the curriculum in areas such as language and literacy, and how an assessment programme which involves the learners at every stage helps both learners and teachers become more reflective competent and confident learners and teachers. Hemmi outlines the process in which the game of baseball was taught in English in a non-immersion context at Morimura Gakuen, where two British Council teachers run a comprehensive English programme for children aged 6 to 12 in collaboration with the PE teachers. Feedback from students show that the employment of a CLIL approach encouraged student interest and motivation in understanding how to play baseball in English. Ikeda presents the two CLIL programmes he has implemented with his colleagues: the Academic English Programme at Sophia University and the Cross-cultural Understanding Course at Wako International High School in Saitama. He discusses the benefits and challenges of adopting CLIL in Japan.
