There are moves both north and south of the border to develop CLIL provision for the teaching of modern foreign languages to support student engagement and interest in a more purposeful language learning environment. As far as I am aware, no HEI institution in the island of Ireland offers a robust ITE-based training option to develop the skills required to be an effective CLIL teacher in MFL contexts. This project will 1) research effective practices for the development of MFL CLIL teachers from across Europe as part of a scoping review of provision, 2) to co design in collaboration with students across two HEIs a 5-10 credit research informed module on CLIL pedagogy to be delivered as part of an ITE programme, 3) to pilot and evaluate its implementation with MFL teachers in both jurisdictions. To achieve this, I am looking to work with an ITE partner in NI working in MFL who could realistically implement such a module as part of a pilot study.
