“Challenging, but not impossible”: Student-teachers’ views of CLIL

This survey is part of a research study conducted by Banegas and Cerrato Will (2021) involving a group of
student-teachers from Argentina. Participants were asked to reflect on their past language learning
experiences.

Please complete the survey below, which was part of the original study. By doing so, you'll gain insights
into your own language learning journey.
First, complete the survey individually. Then, in groups, discuss your responses and work together to
write down your answers, summarize the group's discussion, and draw a collective conclusion.
