Description

The Catholic University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt was so pleased to host the “CLIL 2010 Conference: In Pursuit of Excellence”. In retrospect, it kept its promise: the opportunity for all participants to see best CLIL practice and research, the best that it has had to offer, past and present. Authentic learning and teaching settings, meaningful contents and challenging tasks for our younger and older language learners as an average quality precondition are becoming within reach. As we move forward, David Marsh and Oliver Meyer are setting a path to facilitate the dialogue between teachers, researchers and teacher trainers on all educational levels, and to enable their networking. Latest research findings indicate that for a learner of a language different from his or her mother tongue, an exposure of about thirty percent of his or her waking hours is sufficient to acquire the new language. CLIL in an institutionalized learning surrounding such as kindergarten, preschool facilities or schools would meet these prerequisites. And once a bilingual or even partially bilingual setting is provided, learning additional languages would be facilitated, as newest brain research testifies. These recent neurodidactical studies are also about to prove the hypothesis that though monolingual and bilingual processing brains work mainly in the same area, bilingual education engages more language processing regions than are normally available. That`s good news – and also an obligation for curricula developers on all educational levels to implement and integrate learning at least in two languages – in order to follow the road towards a multilingual, interculturally competent society. These conference proceedings give an ideal and exemplary overview of the CLIL quality status quo, and represent a conference to remember in this respect and in many other ways.
