The research had a descriptive design methodology used in a two parallel processes: a teaching training in the communicative competences of English starting from a diagnosis, and training in the CLIL approach for the design of content activities was implemented through the collective work of a team of volun- teer teachers from the institution. After the activities were applied, the results were positive; indicating that making use of interesting and motivational didactic resources, students and educators recognized the pedagogical advantages of the approach for the learning of content simultaneously reinforcing communicative competences in English as a foreign language, and at the same time sought to continue and increase the use of CLIL activities. This allowed ex- panding the scope to an institutional level, socializing the experiences, and giving place to a second phase that can validate the information. </span></p></div></div></div></div> ER -
