Abstract
CONCARIO, Marcelo; MARTINS, Ana Elisa Piedade Sodero and IGNACIO JUNIOR, Ismair. CLIL in Education for Science: a case study in a (post-) graduate program. Ciência educ. [online]. 2022, vol.28, e22058. Epub Nov 17, 2022. ISSN 1980-850X. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320220058.
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has a long tradition in European countries, especially in primary and secondary education. In this paper we draw attention to the limited use of the term in higher education, especially at (post-)graduate level. By describing and discussing a course entirely taught in English to students in a program titled Education for Science in Brazil, the authors expect to contribute to a broader understanding of the interrelations between specialized content and advanced communicative skills in English for academic purposes. By focusing on qualitative data on the collaborative writing of a paper in English, it is expected that this kind of classroom-based case study will contribute to better informed decisions related to internationalization of (post-)graduate programs among institutions that underscore the importance of English to help promote visibility and cooperation.
