In-service Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Teacher Development: an Action Research Project in Teachers’ Professional Learning

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
All teacher education programmes require to handle complex layers of learning
because they are teaching teachers to teach. Arguably a programme involving
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), preparing experienced school
teachers to teach curriculum subjects in a target foreign language (usually
English), has an additional layer of complexity. This chapter describes an action
research approach to the investigation of a CLIL teacher education programme
and indicates that a pedagogy aligned to action research seems effective in such
contexts. There is an indication that action research based pedagogy applied to
CLIL teacher education can lay the foundation for inquiry-based professional
learning where teachers develop as practitioner-researchers who are able to
improve their own practice and also apply research methods to systematically
validate their work, thus contributing to the body of CLIL research.
