20210816T0830 20210816T1200 Europe/Amsterdam S129 | ReN: CLIL Pedagogy and Greater Fairness, Equity and Inclusion For 2018-2020, the AILA CLIL ReN has focused on 'pedagogy' as research theme, including specific sub-themes that have addressed CLIL as an instructional practice (e.g., CLIL symposium at AFMLTA 2019), CLIL and instructional media (e.g. CLIL, learning technologies and innovation conference, La Tuscia University 2019), and CLIL within multilingual spaces (e.g. CLIL Conference at Sheffield Hallam 2019). This AILA symposium brings into focus the fourth related sub-theme: CLIL and Social Justice. We seek to explore and understand how CLIL might have the potential to contribute to greater equity and access to quality educational provision, with attention to the integrated learning of languages and content. In turn, we would also like to address possible cases of inequity where programs stream students on the basis of their language proficiency and where cognitive and general academic proficiency may also play a role. We understand this aim of social inclusion (or exclusion) broadly, with the potential to include both theoretical and empirical papers that engage with issues of CLIL and class, gender, sexuality, race, cultural and/or linguistic background, and/or special learning needs. Our key point is that CLIL should develop a critical awareness of its impact on its learners and contexts. Room 1 AILA 2021 aila2021@gcb.nl

To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:

Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.

By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

CLIL4All: integrating content and language to engage and support all learnersView Abstract Watch Recording 0

FeaturedAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 10:00:00 UTC

CLIL has been claimed to be a pedagogy that supports all learners irrespective of their academic and linguistic background. I will address the pros and cons of this claim based on evidence from relevant empirical studies. Connections will be made to language-oriented content teaching and content-based language teaching in L1 and L2.

CLIL for all? Overcoming obstacles while striving for inclusion at a state-funded high-school in CataloniaView Abstract

StandardAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 10:00:00 UTC

After initially streaming groups who would take content subject in English, the pedagogical team of ‘INS Josep Lladonosa’ decided to prioritise inclusion; they created heterogenous groups and all the them take CLIL subjects. Findings from a questionnaire suggest students with the lowest levels find the subjects challenging.

Socioeconomic status and bilingual competence in monolingual Southern Europe: egalitarian effects of Content and Language Integrated LearningView Abstract

Standard 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 10:00:00 UTC

Our study measured the correlation between socioeconomic status and performance in CLIL and non-CLIL education in Andalusia, southern Spain. Unlike in other educational contexts, CLIL seems to contribute to greater equity, as it eliminates the weight that socioeconomic status has on student performance.

Classroom interaction in CLIL programs: offering opportunities or fostering inequalities?View Abstract

StandardAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 10:00:00 UTC

This study investigates potential inequalities in CLIL programs where students are streamed into two strands based on their L2 proficiency. We compare the distribution of classroom registers, appraisal resources and pedagogical purposes when the same teachers teach the same content in both strands.

The role of streaming in CLIL: a critical examinationView Abstract

StandardAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 10:00:00 UTC

The paper outlines the potential effects of streaming on inequity in the context of bilingual education in Madrid. The study presents ethnographic data gathered mainly from interviews with key stakeholders on students’ transition from primary to secondary and their placement in one of two CLIL strands (High- or Low-Exposure).

This presentation considers the potential of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to contribute to the equitable provision of high-quality learning in Anglophone contexts by considering why and how the CLIL pedagogical approach might be drawn on to promote multilingual progression in EAL/D and multilingual classrooms.

Equity in Representing Literacy Growth in Dual Language Immersion for Emerging Bilingual StudentsView Abstract

StandardAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/16 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/16 10:00:00 UTC

This study sheds light on how minority and majority language students in dual language immersion programs in one U.S. state are developing their biliteracy skills so that their academic needs can best be met and inequities originating from a sole focus on English assessment data can be identified and addressed.
