Influence of teachers’ linguistic competence on the implementation of CLIL in Physical Education

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to know the influence of the qualification level in the second foreign language in order to see the differences in teacher perception in Bilingual Physical Education classes (AICLE). For this, 146 active teachers in Physical Education participated in the present study, to whom the Physical Education Session Evaluation questionnaire (CESEFA) was administered through. Effects based on the sex of the participants and age category were also checked. The analysis of results showed that the participants who had a C1 level of English had a more positive perception of all categories analyzed. In turn, no differences were found based on the sex of the participants, but were found based on the age category, finding that those under 36 with a B2 level had a better perception of their classes in the items: take advantage of breaks, adaptation of content and feedback. It is concluded that the degree of qualification influences the perception of Physical Education classes, and that in the case of the youngest subjects, there are elements related to the individual efficacy variable, where no differences were found according to the degree of qualification or even these are positive in favor of level B2.
