In the Netherlands, for example, over 90 schools for secondary education offer a CLIL strand. Most CLIL teachers, however, are non-native speakers of the target language, and do not have a professional background in language pedagogy. How, then, can these teachers effectively

Hoe kunnen taal- en vakdocenten door interactie en feedback bijdragen aan het schrijfproces en -resultaat van hun leerlingen? Hoe kunnen leerlingen en studenten leren om adequate school- en vaktaal te gebruiken en hun tekst goed te structureren? Taalgericht vakonderwijs biedt mogelijkheden om leerlingen zich deze vaardigheden eigen te laten maken. Expliciete instructie en op de leerling afgestemde feedback zijn hierbij essentieel, oftewel: de interactie tussen docent en leerling speelt een belangrijke rol.

Students took a computer-assisted self-study course under explanation or non-explanation conditions, and were tested on the acquisition of a simple and a complex morphological structure and a simple and a complex syntactic structure. It is argued that explicit knowledge about language does not convert into implicit knowledge of language. The study is based on an attention focusing position, according to which implicit knowledge is acquired as a result of noticing specific forms and their meanings in the target language; noticing can be facilitated by explicit knowledge built up as a result of explicit instruction.
