Abstract

According to existing research on the Integrated Treatment of Languages approach, the results of its implementation have often been unsuccessful, due to a lack of preparation and coordination among teachers, non-training, time constraints, etc. Nevertheless, most of the results of this research come from informants who have not received specific training in ITL. In contrast, in the present research, I focus on the participants of the AVANCEM training programme organised by the Catalan Department of Education. The main objectives of this study are, on the one hand, to see the acceptance of the model through the beliefs of the participants of the programme and, on the other hand, to analyse the way in which the contents of the training are worked on. Using a qualitative approach, the data collection instruments I have developed are a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results obtained indicate that the degree of acceptance of the model is positive, and show that the methodologies used during the training facilitate the coordination between teachers, also encouraging an education based on competences and plurilingualism. However, some teachers have negative opinions regarding the time dedicated to the coordination. Despite this, the ITL approach is well received by the teachers who follow the training and, moreover, ensures that they achieve the objectives of the training satisfactorily, being able to implement plurilingual projects in the classroom.
