The challenge is not only to highlight the implications of the use of the technology-supported CLIL approach and physical education, but to bridge the gap between language and content acquisition through the use of specific technological tools.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show a preliminary analysis to develop an effective model to enhance teaching and learning foreign languages through technology-supported CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach in the field of physical education. This is the first exploratory phase of a project held at the university of Foro Italico titled “Technology-supported Teaching and Learning for CLIL in Physical Education: in Search of an effective Model” in which we intend to explore the possibility of applying augmented/virtual reality-based tools to CLIL teaching/learning in the context of physical education and sport sciences. The research question aims to explore which technology has a more significant impact on knowledge and content acquisition and can be more easily transferred into a CLIL class. Therefore, we will outline an explorative investigation to highlight the use of augmented reality (AR) as a pedagogical tool to support teaching/learning a foreign language through Physical Education (PE) using the TBLT approach. First, this paper will review the current literature on the application of technology-related educational theories (i.e., “ “Experiential Learning”, “Constructivism”, “collaborative”, TBLT approach). Second, it may be hypothesized that a model for effective foreign language acquisition through physical education to promote understanding, knowledge acquisition and activate productive skills can be developed and some examples of good practices will be provided. The challenge is not only to highlight the implications of the use of the technology-supported CLIL approach and physical education, but to bridge the gap between language and content acquisition through the use of specific technological tools. Finally, in line with the European language policy aimed at enhancing linguistic and cultural diversity as an asset, this study aims at promoting effective professional communication in a multilingual and intercultural perspective
