Escalating tertiary english learners’ performances and motivation through ecological citizenship pedagogy: a response to coyle’s effective content and language integrated learning / David Imamyartha
Abstrak
Studies on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) have insofar explored CLIL implementation and stakeholders rsquo perspectives yet concurrent investigations on learning process and product are hardly undertaken. While ecological citizenship pedagogy (henceforth ECP) is believed to guide meaningful integration of content and language the current discussion on CLIL misses this point. This research attended to Sagor s (2005) Four Stages of Collaborative Action Research (CAR) 1) clarifying vision and targets 2) articulating a theory of action 3) implementing action and collecting data and 4) reflecting and planning informed action. The formulation of learning activities across these stages attended to Meyer et al s. (2015) pluriliteracies approach which defines students rsquo ability to communicate subject-specific meaning using academic language in a way that suits subject discourse cultures. The findings corroborate strong intertwinement among CLIL rsquo s 4Cs (C-content C-cognition C-communication and C-culture) which students extensively engage to expand their conceptual and communicative expertise through increasingly complex science activity domains. From a product-oriented approach the CLIL lessons have given rise to learning motivations for both immediate and future learning gains. The study also sheds light on how sustaining deep learning through genuine pluriliteracies culminates with the increment of learning capacities in ecological literacy and writing proficiency. This study concludes with a framework of technology-enhanced CLIL (TECLIL) that draws upon the pluriliteracies approach 4Cs and information-communication technology (ICT).
