Cross-curricular teaching in foreign language classroom of Jaen and Newcastle secondary schools

Abstract

At the end of the first term of the 2006-2007 academic year questionnaires were handed to compulsory secondary education students and teachers of English in the Spanish city of Jaén with a view to finding out about the teaching of the Cross-Curricular Issues (CCIs). Then, one year later, the same surveys were handed to 8-11 year students and teachers of French or Spanish in the English city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne with the same purpose. The information obtained shows that the cross-curricular approach introduced in Spain in 1991 is more often followed in the contexts under research of Jaén than of Newcastle.
