THE CORRELATION AND INTEGRATION OF CLIL INTO PE AND THE REFLECTION ON TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS

Abstract

Our starting point in this paper is based on the evidence that physical education (PE) correlates with CLIL and the level of EFL knowledge is significantly increased when classes of English and PE are combined in education. This opinion refers to primary, secondary and higher education. The findings obtained through multiple experiments which were carried out with students from 11 to 25 years of age were justified in the tests and observation charts which come as a result of psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, pedagogical and medical scientific research.
CLIL – Content Language Integrated Learning is a foreign language teaching model that triggers the imagination, boosts brain, and works on making students interested in receiving and giving information based on the language content. More energy for getting involved in reasoning about problem-solving and prolonged motivation for tasks requiring brainwashing is major components of the method. A bilingual approach to teaching PE and learning a foreign language requires good initial teacher preparation.
The aim of the paper is to put stress on the advantages of a bilingual approach to teaching foreign languages and PE in correlation and to give guidelines for the additional pedagogic preparation of teachers.
