Physical Education, English, CLIL, bilingualismAbstract
Physical Education (PE), due to the intrinsic motivation it generates in students, can be an ideal subject for learning a second language. The aim of the study was to analyse the perception of a PE teacher and her students on the acquisition of language and subject content. A teacher who teaches PE in English and Spanish and 80 students from two years of ESO (38 in bilingual and 42 in non-bilingual groups) took part in the study. A qualitative approach was used, employing three data collection instruments: semi-structured interviews, logbooks and focus groups. Four categories of analysis were established: a) Language acquisition; b) EF curriculum content; c) Subject difficulty. The results show that training in CLIL methodology is a key aspect in the teaching of PE in English, not reducing the learning of the curricular content. The bilingual groups, despite showing greater involvement in the subject, show greater difficulty because it is taught in English.
