Feb 2, 2018 — 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The Canadian Centre for Studies and Research on Bilingualism and Language Planning (CCERBAL) warmly invites you to its next research forum about The role of socio-affective variables in CLIL in French-speaking Belgium, presented by Audrey De Smet, PhD-student at the Institut Langage et Communication.
Abstract:
In the multilingual context of Belgium, my doctoral research analyses the role of emotions, motivation and attitudes in language learning. Based on a large socio-affective questionnaire completed by nearly 900 pupils, I compare two educational contexts (CLIL/non-CLIL) and two target languages (English/Dutch) at two instruction levels (primary/secondary education).
