Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL), especially targetting English, is by now undoubtedly part of mainstream education in Europe and matched by a vibrant research scene. Existing studies have highlighted the effects of CLIL on general foreign language competence, which are overall positive, but given the complementary nature of CLIL to EFL classes, this improvement is arguably not that surprising. In fact, the crucial question for CLIL practice and research is currently to identify its unique contribution to learning and conceptual development. This symposium argues that one of these contributions is the learning and use of English in the ways deemed appropriate in the specific subjects studied, e.g. History or Biology. We aim to bring together established and emerging scholars in applied linguistics and subject education to allow fruitful discussion of findings in diverse contexts and from a range of perspectives. Possible areas of focus include, but are not limited to: - terminology learning and use - the link between subject-related competence(s) and discourse competence(s) - genre use and learning - interface between L1 disciplinary language use and learning and L2 disciplinary language use and learning - participant perspectives on L2 disciplinary use and learning - pedagogical advice We are aiming for a mixture of presentations and poster presentations
