    Abstract Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is as full of challenges as it is of possibilities. We will explore the challenges while seeking realistic solutions as eight Computer Science professors teach their subjects through English for the first time. We hope to gain insights into the bilingual classroom at the university level where teacher training can aid in professional development. Kevin Haines (2017) has posed the question about policies, principles and practice in bilingual settings, suggesting that we still need to address the challenging question: “who will support the teachers?”. In this paper we will observe problems and solutions to bilingual teaching from the ethnographic point of view of action research. This is a collaborative project that brings CLIL methodology into the content classroom and assesses teacher performance in order for university professors to see CLIL in practice. This article is an overview of CLIL practicum where teachers move from theory to practice in a purposeful intent to improve instruction in a second language. In this project the interaction is based on the multiple perspectives of computer science professors, a CLIL specialist as well as opinions from students. It is with these multiple perspectives that we have put our in-service training into action. Many university professors outside foreign language areas need more in-service training to face the challenges underlying teaching through a second language. Our motivation leads us to these three proposals action research, teacher training and qualitative assessment of the CLIL experience. We hold that research in education must make the move toward a more qualitative assessment. As researchers, perhaps we need to describe less and do more by putting our research into action.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech

    This research aims to develop moral values and constructivism through a bilingual learning model with a BCCT approach. The theory of an English learning model through a BCCT approach can be used byteachers of early childhood education not only to improve the communication skills of students but also tounleash all the potentials of children by promoting freedom of choice, stimulation of creativity and charactergrowth. The study begins with a preliminary study to map out the implementation of bilingual learningwith a BCCT approach based on moral values and constructivism in early childhood education whichconsists of two phases, namely, the study of literature and field studies. It is followed by the stage ofplanning based on the analysis of needs so as to make the design of bilingual learning model with a BCCTapproach based on moral values and constructivism. The analysis and interpretation of data as a result of reflection and evaluation of the developmenof the learning model are used as a reference guide to produce a bilingual learning model with a BCCTapproach based on constructivism and moral values that can be used by early childhood education teachersin their respective schools

    The aim of this study is to develop mathematics-student worksheet based on realistic approach for junior high school in bilingual program. The criteria used to generate product are valid and practical. This research was applying the Research and Development design as adapts the development model of Borg and Gall (1983). Those are (1) need analysis, (2) product develompemnt (3) organization of learning material prototype (4) trial run, (5) product revision and (6 ) final result. In its development, mathematics-student worksheet has been tested through formative evaluation that covers several stages, i.e. content or material expert review, instructional design expert review, instructional media expert review, individual test, small group test and field test. The formative evaluation results in form of suggestion, response or assessment used as feedback in revising and finishing the mathematics-student worksheet. The content or material experts review, the instructional design expert review and the instructional media expert review of mathematics-student worksheet result in " very good" category with percentage of 90%. According to the students’ responses, it was found that students worksheet was very interesting, exciting and can help the students to comprehend the concept.
