The study analyzed interviews and diaries from 13 Finnish primary school CLIL teachers as they developed and adapted their materials. The analysis focused on identifying comments and answers that revealed the teachers' beliefs about language and its relationship to learning. The document poses questions about how teacher beliefs are reflected in discussions of adapting materials and whether beliefs vary depending on a teacher's level of expertise.
