Content-based Language Learning in Multilingual Educational Environments - Educational Linguistics Maria Juan-garau 2015 edition

Commendation Quotes: Within the global CLIL research community, the call for longitudinal studies into effects of various kinds of CLIL has been conveyed for a very long time. MariaJuan-Garau and Joana Salazar-Noguera have now compiled an impressive collection of papers relating to precisely this call, as it reports from the longitudinal COLE-project carried out in the Balearic Islands and Catalonia, which both are CLIL-contexts at the forefront. The volume makes an important contribution to the field of CLIL, as well as Second Language Acquisition. It addresses a range of highly relevant topics, ranging from overall implications of CLIL to empirical findings in regard to, for instance, L2 reading, writing and fluency. The rich data collected in the COLE-project is clearly presented, and the content should be of interest to anybody involved in CLIL in one way or another.
