ESP Teaching Material Design CLIL Based Model Building

The book “ESP Teaching Material CLIL-Based Model Building” is a practical guide that discusses the development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching materials based on the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model. This model aims to integrate English language learning with specific content or other subject matter, allowing students to gain a deep understanding of both.

In this book, the author emphasizes the importance of balancing English with scientific content or specific expertise. Language learning is not solely focused on teaching language structures but also incorporates concepts and topics from other subjects that teachers want to convey to students. This aims to provide dual benefits to students by enhancing their English language proficiency while strengthening their understanding of scientific content.

The book also discusses the dual competencies of teachers who teach using the CLIL approach. Teachers must have a good command of the English language and in-depth knowledge of the content or subjects they teach. Additionally, the author outlines various interactive approaches that can be applied to CLIL learning, such as group discussions, collaborative projects, presentations, and real-life simulations.

Furthermore, the book highlights the importance of understanding the cultural context of the target language (English) and the source content (specific subject matter). Students should be introduced to the cultural aspects related to the content and language they are learning to deepen their understanding.

This book also advocates the use of authentic source materials in teaching. Instructional materials should be based on journal articles, textbooks, audio recordings, or videos relevant to students’ content and language proficiency levels.

“ESP Teaching Material CLIL Based Model Building” provides a comprehensive guide for educators to understand and implement the CLIL approach in ESP learning. By following the principles outlined in this book, it is expected that English language learning and scientific content integration can be more effective, providing benefits for student’s academic and professional development in an increasingly complex and globalized era.”
