Abstract
This study reports on a pilot implementation of Content and Language
Integrated Learning (CLIL) at a Spanish university. In order to find out how
both lecturers and students perceived their experience, several interviews and
meetings took place with lecturers, and an open-ended questionnaire was passed
to students. The meetings and interviews with lecturers yielded important
information about their satisfaction. It was found out that lecturers were mostly
interested in practising and improving their English spoken fluency, they did not
feel that the quality of their teaching had been sacrificed, they had not included
any question on language learning in their assessment and they showed great
reluctance to receiving any CLIL methodological training. As to students’
reactions, analysis of their questionnaires revealed that most of them found the
experience positive. Their self-reported perceived gains unanimously point to the
specialised vocabulary they have learnt and, in the second place, to an
improvement of their listening and speaking skills. The most outstanding negative
aspect they found is lecturers’ insufficient level of English. CLIL training specially
adapted to university teachers is necessary so that lecturers can overcome their
reluctance to a methodological training and thereby the potential of CLIL is
realised.
