Abstract

There has been a trend toward incorporating elements of ICT and e-learning from primary school to higher education (Huang et al., 2009). It has been successfully used in many different contexts, subjects and with different purposes. The aim of this paper is to highlight the use of these pedagogical tools as a support in teaching/learning Physical Education (PE) through English in the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach. It has been demonstrated that the use of technology has a high positive impact on the teaching and learning processes (Gimeno Sanz, 2009; Qi & Zou, 2016). In fact, it has been claimed that educational approaches based on e-learning and ICT represent an excellent vehicle for success (Bodea, 2016). First, this paper will review the literature on the use of e-learning, multimedia technology, exergames, virtual learning and multimedia in Physical Education courses. This will be followed by a discussion of integrating ICT and CLIL methodology in PE. Next the paper will propose ways to blend these three elements (ICT – Physical Education - CLIL) and show the advantages of integrating them in a given educational scenario. Finally, options and examples of using ICT in PE through CLIL at different educational levels will be discussed (Marsh D., Mehisto P., Wolff D., Frigols Martín M.J., European Framework for CLIL Teacher Education). As a conclusion, ICT and e-learning may be successful tools to overcome difficulties and improve the teaching and learning practices of Physical Education using English medium instruction with the CLIL approach.
