  • Descrição: So far, few studies have analysed how contemporary research can contribute to creating and maintaining a sense of order by endorsing certain visions on language, education, and citizenship (Blommaert 1996; Heller & McElhinny 2017). In this contribution, I explore this issue with a critical analysis of research on CLIL. Following the intensification of human and language mobility, CLIL has been constructed as a solution to fulfill the EU’s economic and political needs in a globalized economy. Alike the European institutions, research has enthusiastically supported CLIL since its inception. However, critics have recently pointed to significant biases in much research on CLIL –notably the omission of contextual variables, such as CLIL pupils’ socio-economic status (Bruton 2013). In my presentation, I focus on the historical context of production of early research on CLIL. First, I analyse critically the EU language policy. Second, I analyse the interviews of a prominent CLIL scholar as well as one of his major contribution. In doing so, I show how CLIL emerged in the 1990s at the intersection of multiple dynamics between various stakeholders, language policy, and research. Finally, I discuss these findings in relation to language ideologies on multilingualism, as well as to epistemic power (Bourdieu 1984).
