ABSTRACT Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), involving teaching one or more subjects through the medium of the foreign language, is widespread in Europe, but only offered in a sprinkling of UK schools. Sustainability has been a persistent issue since the 1970s. The focus here is on England but various issues will be familiar to colleagues in other parts of the UK. The article traces CLIL's sporadic development, initiatives taken to support it, and the distinctive challenges it faces. The implementation issues are quite different from those in mainland Europe, where successful CLIL is usually associated with conditions rarely encountered in the UK. CLIL in Europe is almost synonymous with teaching through the medium of English; no other language has this standing in the UK, with the exception of those areas where Gaelic- or Welsh-medium education is well established. The article considers how some form of CLIL might be implemented in the UK and ways of supporting it in the context of national policies. The author draws on his perspective as one who was present when significant initiatives were proposed in the European Union, the Council of Europe and the UK.

背景就是一切:英国对CLIL的思考

摘要内容和语言综合学习(CLIL)涉及通过外语来教授一门或多门学科,在欧洲很普遍,但仅在英国的一些学校中提供。自1970年代以来,可持续性一直是一个长期存在的问题。这里的重点是英格兰,但是英国其他地区的同事会熟悉各种问题。本文追溯了CLIL的零星发展,为支持CLIL而采取的举措以及面临的独特挑战。实施问题与欧洲大陆的实施问题大不相同,在欧洲大陆,成功的CLIL通常与英国很少遇到的情况有关。在欧洲,CLIL几乎等同于通过英语进行教学。在英国没有其他语言可以使用这种语言,除了盖尔或威尔士中等教育水平良好的地区以外。本文考虑了如何在英国实施某种形式的CLIL,以及在国家政策范围内支持它的方式。作者的观点是在欧盟,欧洲委员会和英国提出重大倡议时就在场的。
