needed to apply CLIL approach, unfortunately,
the large number of educators are unable to meet
this requirement because many subject teachers
are untrained basically in a foreign language. One
of solution to this issue is co-teaching, in which
language teachers read certain modules of certain
disciplines in the curricula. Punwalai Kewara
and Denchai Prabjandee pointed out in their
research that to produce CLIL educators, a clear
concept should be shared by the stakeholders
from the administration level to the classroom
level. Also, official pre-service programs where
content teachers can use to prepare themselves
as CLIL teachers and in-service teacher training
programs that can serve teachers’ needs
are in constant need. A framework for the
professional development of CLIL teachers in
the Thai context should be developed [16;96].
As Thailand, we should develop pre-service
teacher training programs with theoretical and
practical aspects of CLIL and train them for
CLIL rather they will be CLIL educator or not.
In particular, students studying at the Primary
Teaching Degree know and understand the
importance of English language that English is
anyway needed language for their future life in
globalized world. Not only students should have
interest in English, but also universities should
also have interest in internationalization of their
programmes and degrees. Nowadays, teacher
should be competitive who can use innovative
methods in future teaching process and develop
new skills as well as scaffolding in CLIL.
With scaffolding educators can do interesting
lessons and involve every student in learning
by breaking up into chunks and providing a
concrete structure for each. Mariya Leshchenko.,
Yuliana Lavrysh., Kateryna Halatsyn believe that
CLIL brings a lot of innovations into universities:
rethinking of traditional language learning
strategies, transformations in conducting field-
related lectures, changes in students‘ attitude
towards language and content learning,
facilitation of students‘ autonomy, metacognitive
students‘ skills development, enhancing
teachers continuous professional development.
Nevertheless, a lot of work should be done so
that CLIL will become sustainable and traditional
approach to foreign language learning [17;24].
Students of the Primary Teaching Department
are not trained on CLIL at the K. Zhubanov
Aktobe Regional University. They study English
language as foreign language discipline in the 1st
year and professional-oriented foreign language
in 3rd year. But in these English lessons, students
are not trained methodologically in teaching
subjects in English. The CLIL is applied only
in Natural Science, Information Technology,
Mathematics and Physics departments.
Especially, the roles of English in higher
education have changed from “subject” in esp
courses to “tool” in eMI settings, and “subject,
tool and mediator” in CLIL programmes
[18;297]. However, in future we may achieve
the CLIL instruction on pre-service teacher
development through implementing trajectory
aimed at teaching 50% Primary Teaching
Degree disciplines in Kazakh, 20% disciplines
in Russian and 30% disciplines in English and
get an early implementation of CLIL approach
in primary education in order to develop
primary schoolchildren’s foreign language skills,
sensitizing them even deeper on different issues,
and educating them for being active in lessons
and responsible person. Nevertheless, different
scholars have argued in favor of an early
implementation, which can provide learners
with more communication and interaction
opportunities from a younger age and because
primary school teachers can take advantage
of the different subjects, they teach to establish
interconnections [19;140]. Early implementation
can provide primary schoolchildren with more
motivation in learning from a younger age and
also primary and secondary school teachers
may have opportunity to integrate the different
subjects, they teach to establish interconnections.
Pre-service teachers won’t need any courses
on language acquisition and CLIL knowledge
in teaching after graduation if we start now to
train them on CLIL methodology. Then we can
implement CLIL successfully in primary schools.
Implementing CLIL in teaching and teacher’s readiness to CLIL
