Abstract
Applying a learning-practice approach to CLIL in teacher education may be instrumental not only to promote the development of CLIL professional skills, but also to improve pre-service teachers' ‘effective personality.' This chapter provides, first, a detailed description of a specific course of physical education teacher education that has been successfully applied for three years, in which pre-service teachers are required to implement CLIL through a learning-practice approach. Subsequently, it presents an explanatory mixed-methods study to examine how pre-service teachers' effective personality was influenced by the learning-practice approach to CLIL used. Informed by the results obtained, the chapter finishes by sharing some clues on how to foster effective personality through CLIL teacher training to help lecturers design and develop proper CLIL teacher development activities.
