Abstract

CLIL is a dual-focused educational approach that has been adopted worldwide in different classrooms since 1990s. It values the learning and teaching of both content and language. Few studies has been carried out with the CLIL approach to CBEC classrooms in higher education. CBEC is a typical practical course which is closely related to the social needs and future career development of college students. This study designed the CBEC practical course curriculum on the basis of CLIL and investigated its effects in classroom teaching. It has been found that the scaffolding of CLIL in CBEC course is generally acknowledged by most college students. Nevertheless, two problems with regard to communication in CLIL and cognitive challenging content were identified in the classroom. Corresponding suggestions were offered for better practice of CLIL in CBEC course. Hopefully this study could provide some empirical references for further investigation of CLIL in higher education classrooms.
