Transforming University English with CLIL Curricula: An In-depth Case Study Growth Mindset in Language Education (Collaboration) 2024/09 |
| Language | English | | Publication Date | 2024/09 | | Type | Research Paper | | Peer Review | With peer review | | Title | Transforming University English with CLIL Curricula: An In-depth Case Study | | Contribution Type | Joint Work | | Journal | Growth Mindset in Language Education | | Journal Type | Japan | | Publisher | JALT | | Total page number | 10 | | Author and coauthor | Wadden, P., Hale, C.C, Shiroza, S., Otsuru, S., & Martin, H.M. | | Details | How will universities throughout Japan meet future challenges of enhancing students’ English academic skills to achieve MEXT goals, prepare students for study abroad and EMI courses at home, and boost overall international English-language competitiveness? Adopting CLIL-based curricula is one promising solution. Based on a four-year MEXT grant to researchers at four major universities, this article describes action-research curricular reform of a first-year English program with 230 students. Its research objective was to design an effective content-based curriculum to improve academic readiness for study in English and significantly boost TOEFL scores. The researchers/curriculum designers examine the reform background, innovative steps taken, significant difficulties encountered, initial results, and remaining challenges. In Year 1, a pilot was conducted in which three of 16 classes adopted a partial CLIL curriculum; in Year 2, all 16 classes engaged in coordinated four-class-per-week study of liberal arts fields including sociology, economics, earth science, biology, and natural history; in Year 3, this CLIL study expanded to five classes a week. For the past 10 years, the curriculum designers’ university has used the TOEFL ITP as a benchmark for English improvement, administering the exam to students at the beginning and end of their first year. In 2022, the year of the first full implementation of the CLIL curriculum, students’ TOEFL ITP gain was 140% greater than the average score gains in the previous seven years. In 2023, the score gain of students was 107% higher than the seven-year average. In Year 4 of the curriculum reform (2024), researchers-curriculum designers hope to share curricular materials on a common platform to partner with other universities. | | DOI | https://doi.org/10.37546/JALTPCP2023-26 | |
