Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is an educational approach in which an additional language is used for learning both content and language. In the practice, learners can improve their understanding of content knowledge through teachers' guiding input, as well as their language abilities through teachers' supporting output. In the traditional CSL listening class, teachers tend to use one-way listening tasks introducing listening content, along with the memory-based questions as the post-listening comprehension test. In this paper, we re-designed an undergraduate CSL listening class by employing CLIL and Coyle's (2007) 4Cs framework. Authentic materials were presented along with analyzed content concepts and linguistic forms. Students were encouraged to raise cognitively challenging questions for discussion. The forced output activity engaged students at various levels of cognitive processing. Students' language outcomes demonstrated the reconstructed understanding of the concepts. The meaningful exchanges among students suggest that the goal of a listening class may be listening comprehension, but the path to the goal can involve active speaking that encourages different levels of cognitive processing. |
