LANGUAGE ACROSS THE CURRICULUM & CLIL IN ENGLIS...

This book will be of interest to a broad readership  regardless of whether they have a
background in sociolinguistics  functional linguistics or genre theories. It presents an
accessible ¿meta-language¿ (i.e. a language for talking about language) that is workable and
usable for teachers and researchers from both language and content backgrounds  thus
facilitating collaboration across content and language subject panels. Chapters 1 to 3 lay the
theoretical foundation of this common meta-language by critically reviewing  systematically
presenting and integrating key theoretical resources for teachers and researchers in this
field. In turn  Chapters 4 to 7 focus on issues in pedagogy and assessment  and on school-based
approaches to LAC and CLIL  drawing on both research studies and the experiences of front-line
teachers and school administrators. Chapter 8 provides a critical and reflexive angle on the
field by asking difficult questions regarding how LAC and CLIL are often situated in contexts
characterized by inequality of access to the linguistic and cultural capitals  where the local
languages of the students are usually neglected or viewed unfavourably in relation to the L2 in
mainstream society  and where teachers are usually positioned as recipients of knowledge rather
than makers of knowledge. In closing  Chapter 9 reviews the state of the art in the field and
proposes directions for future inquiry.
