Yet so far, CLIL literature has tended to maintain a 'teachers-are-expected-to-work-together' assumption without delving into the complexity as to how. This study has aimed to theorise and problematize the nature and processes of pedagogic collaboration between subject and language teachers for the integration of content and language. A theoretical investigation critically draws upon existing literature (from: CLIL; generic teacher collaboration and professional development; ESL/EAL; Academic Literacies; pluriliteracies development…). It constructs a conceptual framework as a working model from a sociocultural perspective. Qualitative (social) constructivist inquiry (case study approach in French-speaking Belgian secondary CLIL) provides the model testing and fee...

However, beyond simply allowing it, the context specific challenge has especially been for the system to actively support the development of effective practice. The majority of the schools offering CLIL provision at secondary level are state subsidised comprehensive catholic schools. This article will concentrate on the recent piloting strategies and efforts put in motion institutionally by the FESeC (Fédération de l'Enseignement Secondaire Catholique) with the aim to help make CLIL 'work' -as an effective approach to learning both content and language.
