“…Macaro et al (2018) claim for example that 'we need to understand what kind of "accommodation" needs to be made ' (p. 38) when students have to learn academic content in a second language to ensure their successful following of the course content. In this paper, we argue, in line with other researchers of the field (Dafouz & Smit, 2014;Gabillon & Ailincai, 2016), that the construction of pedagogical adjustments has to be tackled through theoretical analysis and discussion. In addition, data based on randomized controlled trials is essential.…”

Background It is frequently implicitly assumed that advantages in language acquisition when learning content through a second language exceed the disadvantages of reduced content acquisition. Aims Based on cognitive load theory, that assumption was tested experimentally. The theory is concerned with techniques for reducing extraneous working memory load in order to facilitate learning. Materials This study used a listening task. Methods French students of Law and Political Science listened to an audio document about the European Court of Humans Rights under one of four experimental conditions: in their native language (French) twice; in a second language (German) twice; first in French, then in German; or first in German then in French. After the listening task, we tested students’ understanding of both the German language and of the academic content. Results Our results indicated that listening to the content in French before listening to it in a second language was beneficial for both content and language learning. In contrast, listening to content in a second language not only depressed content acquisition as is to be expected, but also depressed language acquisition. We discuss the relevance of cognitive load theory to frame learning tasks aimed at teaching content through a second language.

“…Using active and imaginative methods of instruction, such as group discussions, collaborative projects, and drama. This method enables students to interact actively with the language and its context and also promotes creativity and collaboration in the learning process (Gabillon & Ailincai, 2015). Emphasising character values in the context of language, such as truthfulness in speech, tolerance in listening to the opinions of others, and responsibility in language use.…”

Whole language teaching is a method of language instruction that emphasizes the use of language in everyday situations. The method that is used is library research, by searching and analyzing research results from published works in reputable journals. This methodology seeks to help students improve their language abilities while gaining an extraordinary and meaningful understanding of various subjects. In whole language instruction, (1) students learn to read, write, communicate, and listen through direct experience in daily life, as well as by perusing materials that are both meaningful and contextual. (2) Meaningful reading materials, such as novels, manuals, and articles, can be effective learning resources in whole language instruction. Contextually, meaningful reading material will aid students in acquiring a deeper comprehension of the language. (3) a conducive learning environment Attractive classrooms, audiovisual equipment, and engaging activities can help students feel more motivated and interested in learning languages on their own. In whole language instruction, technology such as computers, tablets, and smartphones can be used to enhance students' learning experiences. In elementary academies, integrated language teaching refers to a method that integrates language instruction with other subjects, such as mathematics, science, social studies, and sculpture studies. In conclusion, whole language teaching refer to integrated learning, by mash up learning materials, teaching materials and teaching methods in particular context.
