Abstract

This article shows the description of an experience involving a group of graduate-level university students taking a CLIL (content and language integrated learning) course in Spanish as a foreign language. An important contribution from this study is to show that it is possible to achieve the integration of content and language by incorporating the content of the students’ interests related to the concentrations of their master’s degrees. This group of students is taking a Spanish class at the low and mid-intermediate level (ACTFL, 2012). Their fields of their Master’s programs varied from international policy, to environmental studies, to business. The students had the opportunity to work with content related to their programs over the course of a semester. The instructor used an adaptation of the European Language Portfolio in order to measure part of their performance in class.
