On YouTube: CLIL and the Future of English Language Teaching (Rod Bolitho)

posted by Jürgen Kurtz, Karlsruhe University of Education, Germany

In this video, Rod Bolitho talks about the future of English language teaching, placing particular emphasis on content and language integrated learning (CLIL):

I agree in principle, but I would like to emphasize that in my view CLIL and TEFL should not be set in opposition to each other.

Apart from this, I would like to add that up to now there are only two German universities offering specific study programs in bilingual education (CLIL in combination with European studies). These so called European teacher (Europalehramt) programs (i.e. eight semester M.A. degree courses) focus on empowering students to teach a school subject in either English or French. For further details see the Freiburg University of Education and / or the Karlsruhe University of Education webpages.
