The concept of ‘integration between language and non-language content - not to be confused with LSP or topic syllabi - is becoming particularly important in the reconsideration of foreign language teaching approaches and in the need to prepare students with a competence that prepares for work and study in international or even domestic contexts where a competence in a foreign language is required. Furthermore, language and content integration in the foreign language curriculum allows for the divide between language and cognition to be bridged, it introduces substantive content which students find motivating and it recognises the existence of language varieties that differ according to the context - social or academic - of use. These aspects underpin the reflections in this article.

Abstract
The concept of ‘integration between language and non-language content - not to be confused with LSP or topic syllabi - is becoming particularly important in the reconsideration of foreign language teaching approaches and in the need to prepare students with a competence that prepares for work and study in international or even domestic contexts where a competence in a foreign language is required. Furthermore, language and content integration in the foreign language curriculum allows for the divide between language and cognition to be bridged, it introduces substantive content which students find motivating and it recognises the existence of language varieties that differ according to the context - social or academic - of use. These aspects underpin the reflections in this article.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
