Description
Summary:This study aims at showcasing educational stakeholders’ perspectives on catering for diversity in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) settings in Spain, specifically in the Valencian Region. This research, which is part of the ADiBE Project (Attention to Diversity in Bilingual Education), begins by depicting the main principles of CLIL and its deployment in Spain and the Valencian Community. Then, after framing the different studies conducted under the acronym ADiBE, the article presents the objectives, research design, sample, variables, instruments, procedure and statistical methodology of this study. Finally, the results are outlined in three steps: descriptive, within-cohort and across-cohort results in the five sections which have been canvassed: linguistic aspects, methodology and groupings, materials and resources, evaluation and teacher training and coordination. Consequently, this paper carves out a clear picture of how CLIL is being implemented in the Valencian Community, a traditionally bilingual region which is increasingly becoming multilingual.
