This Study aims at checking the influence of CLIL over the Writing performance and
overall proficiency in Secondary School learners of English as a Foreign Language. For
the study, several tests and Compositions from 115 students coming from the
database of the BAF project were used.
Results showed superiority for Grade 7 and 10 students over their counterparts
from the same grades in Proficiency tests and the Writing analysis. When groups from
different grades were compared, CLIL Grade 9 learners had better scores than their
Grade 10 counterparts. No significant differences were found when Grades 7 and 10
were compared. According to these results, CLIL lessons seem to help saving a distance
of up to 3 years of instruction among Foreing Language learners.
