Abstract
Teaching and learning practices were examined across three English programs in St Paul De
Chartres Schools in Thailand to develop an effective CLIL framework, for teaching and learning math,
science and social studies. Quantitative & qualitative data collection methods were employed including
content analysis of documents and websites. Findings from this revealed that for any CLIL plan to be
successful, eight key administrative and teaching practices have to be planned for and in advance of
teaching these content subjects. These eight constructs relate to the best methods for teaching content
where English is a foreign language and lead to more successful teaching of these subjects. It begins
by integrating the language and content curriculum, where content and language teachers communicate,
cooperate and prioritize their content and language items so that students receive planned language
content support lessons prior to and during content subjects through differentiation, critical thinking
skills, questioning and by the use of appropriate materials. Questionnaires for teachers and students and
interview data from teachers and program leaders were also employed and the results revealed mostly
low scores for these constructs. The findings provide a suitable framework to bridge the gap between
these constructs and their results. Further to this, the study suggests a model could contribute to
increased academic support for student’s content development of subjects where language teachers
preload students with appropriate academic background language knowledge and study skills that they
can build on as an aid, prior to and during the periods of content study.
