Student English Performance in Clil: A Case Study at Primary Classroom Content
Abstract
Abstract—English language learning at the primary education level plays a crucial role in laying the foundation for students' future academic and social abilities. The Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method is an effective approach because it integrates subject content learning with English language mastery simultaneously. This study aims to describe and determine the extent of students’ English performance in the CLIL classroom at SDN Trucuk. The research employs a qualitative case study approach, involving observations, interviews, and English proficiency tests. The results show that CLIL significantly improves students’ English skills, particularly in vocabulary and oral communication. Moreover, CLIL provides meaningful learning contexts that motivate and engage students.
