| description | This study investigates the impact of a proposal for applying Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach for teaching chemistry on seventh graders in a private school, in which we as language teachers, not only teach language, but also, we must teach other subject areas as chemistry. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the CLIL approach in enhancing students' comprehension of both chemistry concepts and English language skills. The research is motivated by improving students’ needs in English as a foreign language. The objectives include design and apply fundamental principles of CLIL in chemistry class through the designing and application of a module or didactic unit about periodic table of elements in chemistry class. The following research questions are considered for this study; how does the implementation of CLIL affect students’ understanding of the periodic table of the elements in chemistry class? And how does CLIL influence students’ engagement and motivation in learning in chemistry class? The methodology used is action research, class observation notes and entry tests were considered for diagnosed students’ language needs. It highlights the importance of improving technical vocabulary, the level of reading comprehension, as well as problems in sentence construction and overcoming difficulties in connecting ideas. Additionally, the study delves into the CLIL approach, emphasizing its role in promoting language learning, intercultural skills, and a deeper understanding of subject matter. |

Este estudio investiga el impacto de una propuesta de la aplicación del enfoque de Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE) para la enseñanza de la química en estudiantes de séptimo grado de un colegio privado, en el que nosotros, como profesores de idiomas tenemos que enseñar inglés y otras materias como química. El estudio pretende evaluar la eficacia del enfoque AICLE para mejorar la comprensión de los alumnos tanto de los conceptos de química como de las habilidades de la lengua en inglés. La investigación está motivada por la mejora de las necesidades de los estudiantes en inglés como lengua extranjera. Los objetivos incluyen diseñar y aplicar los principios fundamentales de AICLE en la clase de química a través del diseño de un módulo o unidad didáctica sobre la tabla periódica de los elementos en la clase de química en inglés. Para este estudio se plantean las siguientes preguntas de investigación: ¿cómo afecta la aplicación de AICLE a la comprensión de la tabla periódica de los elementos por parte de los estudiantes en la clase de química? ¿Y cómo influye AICLE en el compromiso y la motivación de los estudiantes para aprender en clase de química? La metodología utilizada es la de investigación-acción, se tuvieron en cuenta las notas de observación de clase y la prueba de entrada para diagnosticar las necesidades lingüísticas de los estudiantes. Se destaca la importancia de mejorar el nivel de vocabulario técnico, el nivel de comprensión de lectura, así como los problemas en la construcción de frases y lograr superar las dificultades para conectar ideas. Además, el estudio profundiza en el enfoque AICLE, destacando su papel en la promoción del aprendizaje del idioma, las habilidades interculturales y una comprensión más profunda de la asignatura.
