ABSTRACT

The LOCIT data positions itself at the interface between motivation and perceptions

of ‘successful learning’. Having presented the data collected through questionnaires

and ‘respectful discussions’ in the previous sections, the classroom video clips consist

of the ‘learning moments’ identified and justified by the learners. These provide

insights into the perceptions of the value of shared experiences within the classroom.

The ‘learning moments’ selected by pupils in the eight schools participating in the

LOCIT process and representing different practices and experiences in CLIL fall into

three distinct categories: content-focused (knowledge construction and conceptual

understanding), language-focused (usually but not exclusively dealing with vocabu-

lary) and affect (Figure 4).
