The ability to express and communicate appropriately in English has become an imperative
requirement in society, which is typified by internationality and mobility across countries.
Within this context, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) emerges in European
education as an effective method to enhance and reinforce students’ competence in English
and skills while covering traditional content areas.
This paper presents a research study into CLIL in secondary education in Spain,
specifically in the Alcalatén region, which is located in Castellón in the Valencian
Community. For the evaluation of this, the first aim of the research work comprises
determining whether or not any of the content subjects in the four secondary schools of the
area are being delivered using English as the vehicular language. Secondly, the study also
seeks to identify which are the attitudes and background of both English and content teachers
of those centres in relation to CLIL. In order to do so, two types of CLIL questionnaires were
distributed among the English and content teachers. Results reveal that CLIL has not been
introduced in any of the four schools, even though two of them have applied it to some
modules of nursery and primary education. Besides, results also indicate that both English and
content teachers show a positive attitude towards the effects that CLIL could have on
students, and predisposition to cooperate in its implementation. However, only a small
amount of them are willing to adopt CLIL. These results are discussed and confirm previous
research, which underlined the absence of preparation and resources. Finally, guidelines for
further investigation are suggested. [-]
