CLIL: Active methodologies for the success of inclusive education

Abstract

With the rapid expansion of the CLIL approach across Europe and the development of educational policies that promote plurilingualism and inclusive, quality education, teachers are faced with the need to address the challenges of bilingual teaching. The CLIL approach has proven to have many benefits, but at the same time, it involves challenges that invite us to reflect on our teaching practices. According to recent studies, one of the greatest difficulties is to design learning environments where content and the foreign language are learned while considering the diversity of the classroom. To deal with this reality, the implementation of active methodologies and the use of scaffolding strategies that contribute to the construction of content and language knowledge are proposed as measures of educational inclusion.
