CLIL is a didactic method, comparable to immersion education, in which school subjects are taught in a different target language than the mainstream school language. The project will focus on primary and secondary school CLIL education in Dutch and English and examine </span><span lang=EN-GB>by which cognitive (memory, attention,…) and socio-affective (motivational, attitudinal,…) factors the potential linguistic differences (with respect to pronunciation, lexis and grammar) between pupils </span><span lang=EN-US>in CLIL education and their pairs in non-CLIL school environments, can be accounted for. The methodological approach will combine corpus-based longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses, together with experimental research designs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><u><span lang=EN-US>Promoters<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US>Prof. Philippe Hiligsmann - Spokesman (UCL / IL&C / Valibel): philippe.hiligsmann@uclouvain.be <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US>Prof. Benoît Galand (UCL / IPSY / Girsef): benoit.galand@uclouvain.be <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>Prof. Laurence Mettewie (UNamur / Pluri-LL): Laurence.mettewie@unamur.be<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>Prof. Fanny Meunier (UCL / IL&C / CECL): fanny.meunier@uclouvain.be<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'>Prof. Arnaud Szmalec (UCL / IPSY / IoNS): arnaud.szmalec@uclouvain.be<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=NL>Prof. Kristel Van Goethem (F.R.S.-FNRS / UCL / IL&C / Valibel): kristel.vangoethem@uclouvain.be <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><u><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>PhD projects</span></u></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Each selected candidate will be engaged in a 4-year full-time PhD project (2-year renewable contract), with focus on one (or more) of the following research lines: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Linguistic research goals</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Examine the relationship between the learning environment and the acquisition of <b><i>spoken skills and oral proficiency in Dutch and English</i></b> (i.e. the perception and production of target language vowels and/or word stress) by using qualitative classroom observations, spontaneous speech production and quantitative experimental methods.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:36.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Analyze relationship between the learning environment and the <b><i>acquisition of lexical and grammatical proficiency in Dutch and English</i></b>, by using both corpus-based and experimental methods.
