Abstract:

This book fills an important gap in the literature by providing
evidence of the positive effect that receiving content classes in
multiple target languages has on vocabulary acquisition and, in
particular, lexical availability. It examines data from a multilingual
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) context, where Spanish
adolescents simultaneously study both English and French as foreign
languages.
The author explores the quantitative and qualitative differences
between CLIL learners’ language acquisition in English and French and
between males and females, as well as the positive and negative
influence of the learners’ various languages in their available
lexicon. In addition, these factors are investigated not only at one
point in time, but also longitudinally, so as to address the long-term
effects of these issues. The book equips teachers and stakeholders
with clear information regarding the effect that multilingual CLIL
instruction has, to allow them to make the most of this multilingual
learning scenario and foster the learners’ multilingual exposure.
