An investigation into CLIL-related sections of EFL coursebooks : issues of CLIL inclusion in the publishing market

The current ELT global coursebook market has embraced CLIL as a weak form of bilingual education and an innovative component to include in General English coursebooks for EFL contexts. In this paper I investigate how CLIL is included in ELT coursebooks aimed at teenaged learners, available to teachers in Argentina. My study is based on the content analysis of four series which include a section advertised as CLIL-oriented. Results suggest that such sections are characterised by (1) little correlation between featured subject specific content and school curricula in L1, (2) oversimplification of contents, and (3) dominance of reading skills development and lower-order thinking tasks. Through this study, I argue that CLIL components become superficial supplements rather than a meaningful attempt to promote weak forms of bilingual education

Smiling and Positive Emotions

Human smiling has many meanings and functions. In this paper we describe the main components of smiles which are supposed to represent positive emotions or attitudes. The studies of the French anatomist Duchenne, and the descriptions of Ekman and Friesen are presented here together with a series of studies we have made over many years. Emotional and social aspects of human smiling are discussed not necessarily in terms of opposition but in a new light which takes into consideration part of smiling expression within the realm of aesthetic emotions. According to our point of view body arousal and communicative needs which are often behind smile expressions can belong to aesthetic experience; this experience, on the other hand, can be predictive of social behaviours and rules as well as individual differences according to different cultural contexts
