Research Abstract |
We investigated some model cases of CBI and CLIL in and outside (e.g., USA, Australia, Europe, and Taiwan)of Japan. We also analyzed teacher-oriented cognitive questions and activities in Japanese junior high school English textbooks. We focused particularly on Cummins' concept of CALP and socio-cultural elements, with the aim of identifying what could be relevant to the Japanese English language education system. Our findings enhance the current state of knowledge of the effectiveness of content material in English textbooks within different Japanese school settings. Finally, we discuss suggestions for improving curricula, teaching plans and materials.
