Abstract

The present study explores whether/how CLIL practice at primary English language classrooms raises English language teachers’ awareness towards their language use from an English as a lingua franca (ELF)-aware perspective. English language teachers in a CLIL program completed a survey about their classroom practice and their opinions about their English language use in the classroom. They also shared their lesson plans to showcase their everyday teaching. The findings revealed that although CLIL practice presented challenges for language teachers, their experience enabled participants to conceptualize themselves as ‘competent English language users’ instead of non-native English language teachers. Moreover, the findings suggested that teachers’ CLIL experience enabled them to become aware of the three major components of ELF awareness; namely, awareness of language and language use, awareness of instructional practice, and awareness of learning.

CLIL练习对英语作为通用语的触发作用

摘要

本研究探讨了从英语作为一种通用语（ELF）意识的角度来看，在初级英语课堂上进行CLIL练习是否/如何提高英语教师对其语言使用的认识。在CLIL计划中，英语教师完成了有关他们的课堂实践以及他们对课堂中英语使用的看法的调查。他们还分享了课程计划，以展示他们的日常教学。调查结果表明，尽管CLIL的实践给语言教师带来了挑战，但他们的经验使参与者能够将自己概念化为“有能力的英语用户”，而不是非母语的英语教师。此外，研究结果表明，教师的CLIL经验使他们能够意识到ELF意识的三个主要组成部分。即
