THE INTEGRATION OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN CLIL: A NARRATIVE REVIEW OF THEORY AND PRACTICE
Downloads
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a curriculum approach that combines discipline knowledge and language learning by teaching curricular subjects in a foreign or second language. The experiential learning model, based on Kolb's (1984) model, emphasizes the need for direct experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation processes to lead to deeper understanding of content and acquisition of relevant skills. Experiential learning approaches are increasingly embedded into CLIL practices in the search for making bilingual and multilingual learning contexts meaningful and authentic, as well as more effective
