Integrating Language and Content across the Victorian Curriculum: Research project starts soon!

How do you integrate language and content across the Victorian Curriculum?

Integrating language with other curriculum areas is crucial for CLIL, but when the curriculum assumes language and content to be separate learning areas this can be complex.

This project aims to understand “how do teachers navigate the curriculum to make various approaches to languages with content integration possible in their own settings?”.

We are calling primary and secondary CLIL teachers across various subjects to participate in this project. Participation is voluntary and if teachers would like to be involved their principal’s approval would be required. Ethics approvals have been obtained for this project to be conducted in Victorian government schools and private schools (primary and secondary).

If you are interested or would like to know more about this project, please contact the PhD researcher Vincent Liang or the project supervisor Prof Russell Cross.

We hope you can join us to explore different ways to approach CLIL, and gain new insights into language education!
