This paper is the result of my extensive teaching experience and research in the field of philosophy of education. The main knowledge of the philosophy of education traditionally comes from the West. In the past, college students used to learn it through Chinese translation, which often led to misunderstandings or increased the gap. In 2022, I initially planned to teach this course using EMI. However, considering the college student’s English level and the pressure of the Teacher Qualification Exam, I eventually adopted the CLIL teaching method. In the autumn semester of 2022, a total of 48 learners were divided into 8 heterogeneous groups for 18 weeks. After this, I categorized and analyzed the data from my reflective notes, students’worksheets, discussion preparation writing worksheets, students’feedback, homework, presentations, etc. Concluding remarks are as follows. First, CLIL is much better for these poor- and immediate- English college students and postgraduates. Second, 40% to 50% English is enough for these college students. When more than 50% of English is used in class, these learners will begin to decrease their learning motives and attention. Third, bilingual education could improve college students’professional knowledge and increase their English ability in the philosophy of education. Fourth, learning devices could become a good communication and learning mediation for teachers’CLIL teaching. |
