“…With over 500 responses from 13 European countries, the answers provided an updated picture of the social perception of foreign language teacher training, its voids and the improvements it must undertake to meet the needs of the profession in the 21 st century. The results confirmed that ITE is an essential step for language education in Europe and it needs urgent improvement from several fronts, particularly in terms of curricula homogenization, internationalization, adaptability, mobility and gender balance (Barros-del Río & Mediavilla-Martínez, 2019).…”

Globalisation has deeply affected educational contexts both in form and duration, with diversity, mobility and long-life learning as key features of language student teacher education. This volume analyses this phenomenon and assesses critically relevant aspects of foreign language teacher education, such as the promotion of internationalisation and convergence of national format curricula, the implementation of digital tools, the enhancement of a greater coherence between the training and practice stages, and the inclusion of a gender lens and critical thinking. Finally, it suggests new paths for development and advancement in quality language teacher education, which will be of particular interest to policy makers and education administrators.

“…Overall, the focus has been mainly on analyzing data regarding the student teacher and mentor dynamics but scarce on the student teacher´s performance, which would result in more enlightening for the teacher trainer. Barros-del Río (2020) has proposed the use of digital tools to be used between all parties involved during the practicum stage. She argues that this would prove highly beneficial when seeking to establish common goals for teacher training and practice at a European level.…”

The widespread implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) across school settings in Europe as an innovative and effective means of improving Foreign Language learning and teaching, has triggered a profusion of academic research on its tenets and rewards. The focus has mainly centered on theoretical discussions of CLIL´s ins and outs but there have also been empirical studies on key players’ views regarding its efficacy. A consistent outcome of the latter has been the call made by CLIL practitioners (the classroom teachers) for more guidance in the practical application of this approach. However, not much attention has been paid to this key issue which should concern researchers and teacher educators from CLIL-supporting contexts. The goal of this study is to encourage a shift of focus from the theoretically-based discussion of this approach to one centered on its practical application. This study is a discussion paper that intends to encourage discussion and research on teacher training to better tackle the methodological concerns of those teachers in CLIL practice. Keywords: CLIL; foreign language; teacher; training.
