From Principle to Practice:

Integration of the Principles of English as a Lingua Franca, Content and Language Integrated Learning, Deep Active Learning, and Cooperative Language Learning in the Design of Communicative English Language Teaching for Japanese College Students

Abstract

In recent English language teaching, the importance of concepts such as English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Deep Active Learning (DAL), and Cooperative Language Learning (CLL) has been widely recognized.

This article introduces the design of a communicative English class for Japanese college students based on these four principles.
