Resumo

Cet article fournit une mise à jour de l'évolution de l’Enseignement de Matières par l’Intégration d’une Langue Étrangère (EMILE), d'une période initiale de la défense de cette approche à d'autres critiques ultérieures, conduisant à une période de controverse. Le débat actuel entourant cette approche affecte trois fronts principaux (la caractérisation, la mise en œuvre et la recherche), qui sont tous traités, illustrant comment le soi-disant effet pendule peut être discernée dans chacun d'eux. Les principaux défis posés par le conflit dans ces trois domaines d'EMILE sont identifiés et des moyens concrets pour y faire face sont proposés par des exemples tirés de deux projets de recherche sur le sujet. Le but ultime est d'identifier les principaux obstacles à surmonter dans le domaine de l'EMILE dans l'avenir immédiat et faire des propositions concrètes pour les traiter avec des garanties pour continuer à progresser dans le développement de cette approche.
