Description¶
The article recommends Content and Language Integrated Learning for teaching English for Occupational Purposes, in which subject content serves as the medium for learning language items. In the study, the experimental group received instruction through CLIL with a subject matter teacher for the first 45 minutes and an EFL teacher for the second 45 minutes, while the control group was taught by a traditional approach with only a subject matter teacher. The findings suggest important implications for course designers and teachers working in EOP.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Instruction must integrate content and language learning simultaneously, with both a subject matter teacher and an EFL teacher contributing to the class as in the study's CLIL condition.
Constraints¶
- The article notes the limitation of paucity of the students, since the ICAO rule for the number of students in an aviation class is between 16 and 20.
Target Learners¶
- adult aviation students
- pilots in specialized English training
Learning Goals¶
- aviation English proficiency
- content knowledge of aviation subject matter
- positive attitudes and motivation toward English learning
Claims¶
