Abstract


Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) implementation in online micro-teaching offers dual focuses that become its main consideration. The CLIL implementation in an English teacher education course enables the students to learn both the content of the pedagogical courses and the instructional language. This approach could accommodate their achievements to achieve the pre-determined objectives. Thus, this research was mainly intended to determine the factors affecting the students’ content and language achievement during the CLIL implementation. In the current research, an explanatory-sequential mixed-methods design was employed. The researcher first collected the data dealing with the students’ content and language achievements quantitatively, and to elaborate on the data, qualitative data were also collected through performance tests, self-reflected journals, and interviews. Based on the findings, the research revealed that the CLIL implementation in online micro-teaching could affect the students’ content and language achievement positively. It could be seen from the performance test results that they had achieved the minimum passing grade. The CLIL implementation strengthened their content and language achievement by the teacher’s recalling of the learning material and instructional languages, organizing a well-structured presentation, arranging enriching dual-focus activities, applying content and language scaffolding, promoting the development of  communicative skills by using clear, simple language instructions, and managing cooperative learning. The students were actively involved, and these activities supported their content and language achievement. These findings revealed that the aforementioned activities should be considered to implement the CLIL approach successfully.
