Abstract
To CLIL or not to CLIL? That’s not the question! Philippe Hiligsmann Université Catholique de Louvain The first part of the presentation aims at briefly presenting the multidisciplinary research project Assessing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) (UCLouvain-UNamur, 2014-2019). Drawing on an innovative combination of different research methods and perspectives, this project tackles the interplay between linguistic, cognitive and socio-affective aspects of (non-)CLIL education. The analyses are based on data collected from French-speaking CLIL and non-CLIL L2 learners of English and Dutch in the last two years of primary and secondary school education (see Hiligsmann et al. 2017). The thorough analysis of the collected data provides a balanced answer to the question whether CLIL learners really outperform non-CLIL L2 learners as far as L2 proficiency, attitudes, motivation and cognitive profile are concerned (see Bulon 2019, Bulon et al. 2017, De Smet et al. 2018, Hendrikx et al. 2019, Simonis et al. (submitted), Van Mensel et al. 2019).
