Résumé

This article reports on the outcomes of a qualitative study carried out with teachers in four eastern Andalusian provinces (Granada, Almería, Jaén, and Córdoba) into their perspectives on the implementation of CLIL programmes. Data triangulation, methodological triangulation, and location triangulation have all been employed to obtain a comprehensive and representative picture into the way in which CLIL programmes are playing out in this context. After framing the topic against the backdrop of the projects, the paper expounds on the objectives, methodology, variables, and procedure employed in the study. The bulk of the article is devoted to outlining its main findings in relation to the ten main fields of interest which have been canvassed: L2 use in class, L2 development: discursive functions, competence development, methodology, materials and resources, evaluation, teacher training and motivation, mobility, coordination, organization, workload, and overall appraisal of bilingual programmes. Within-group comparisons are also carried out to determine the existence of statistically significant differences within the cohort of teachers in terms of a series of identification variables. A detailed diagnosis of where we currently stand in this process of adaptation to CLIL models is provided and the main lacunae to be addressed in this area are pinpointed.
