If time
allows us, on our session on January 29th I'd like to spend some time on
the roles of language in CLIL which have been very thoroughly studied by Ana
Llinares, Tom Morton and Rachel Whittaker in the book "The Roles of
Language in CLIL" published by CUP.
"The Roles of Language
in CLIL" provides a theoretically based approach to the
integration of language and content in Primary and Secondary
contexts addressed to a range of stakeholders in Content and Language
Integrated Learning. Adopting the framework of systemic functional
linguistics, this book raises practitioners' awareness of how language
functions in CLIL.
Drawing on their wide experience as CLIL educators and researchers, the authors explore data collected in real CLIL classrooms and provide a rich description of how CLIL students' language works and may be expected to develop.

One of the authors of the book, Ana Llinares, is a Senior lecturer in the English Department, Madrid Universidad Autónoma and she will be delivering a talk on this topic on May 15th at Getxolinguae. It is therefore a good idea that we have a look at her work before the conference takes place.
