OBSERVATIONS

Learner Issues: Particularly common developing self-confidence alongside motivation

School-based Issues: Introduction of CLIL for this purpose is usually a short-term action which is followed by replacement of another priority

Socio-cultural Issues: Particularly suitable for border region schools where teaching and student resources can be shared

For example, in a programme which is light on content and heavy on interactional methodology aimed at building self-confidence and a 'can do' attitude amongst broad range of learners
