Light the FLAME is a project inspired by the principles of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), recently re-launched in the UK as FLAME (Foreign Language as a Medium of Education). FLAME supports the combination of language learning with the learning of other school subjects. In the Comberton Academy Trust, we embrace the overarching aim of providing ‘education with an international outlook’. In one of our four Trust schools, there is the opportunity to enhance our Spanish language curriculum and learner outcomes by introducing a FLAME programme for Y8, involving the teaching of maths, art, music and design technology through the medium of Spanish. Experience in UK schools, as well as wider research in other European countries, has shown that students enjoy learning in this way and become more confident users of the language as a result. Results show that students do as well or even better in the non-language subject, too. To ensure that teachers are equipped to plan and deliver high-quality FLAME teaching, we recognise the need for both linguistic upskilling in Spanish as well as the development of pedagogical knowledge about content and language integrated learning. We therefore undertook to train and develop 5 teachers to initiate the FLAME curriculum. The teachers differ in the level of linguistic competence from none – A2, but all are interested in and open to the principles of FLAME teaching and committed to implementing it in our school. The mobilities involved are two-fold: firstly, a Spanish linguistic immersion course, involving a blend of language classes, MFL pedagogy modellling, immersion activities and etwinning preparation. As well as daily Spanish lessons and teaching sessions, there will be the opportunity to observe Spanish teaching in a local secondary school, meet Spanish teachers and gain a contact who can lend further support through e-twinning. The subsequent job shadowing at our partner school will involve a mixture of subject specific lesson observation, and meetings with teacher ‘partner’ for discussion / planning / resource creation. Following this, our partner Spanish teachers will return to us for a reciprocal job shadowing visit. We anticipate that the outcomes will be extremely positive. Having trained our staff, Spanish provision will improve through the introduction of a CLIL / FLAME programme for Y8 students (150 students). Teachers will have the skills, expertise and confidence to deliver elements of their own specialist subjects in Spanish, including maths, art, design technology and music. This will, in turn, generate improved outcomes in Spanish for its Y8 students. In addition, we will have a model for FLAME teaching which, once thoroughly evaluated, can be shared widely: across our Trust schools; in our local Association for Language Learning network, online on the British Council website and others, and at national language teacher training events such as Language World. In this way, we hope to contribute to the growing interest in CLIL/FLAME as a methodological approach and provide an action research case study of its use in UK and Spanish schools to add to the body of action research studies in this field.
