Abstract
Introduction. Bilingualism takes on an essentialrole
in today’s world in response to the ever growing socioeconomic
demands in our country. Globalization,
in general, has introduced new demands for our
educational system that, in turn, propel renewed
challenges for all agents of the educational system.
Promoting bilingualism, as a tool to improve the
profile of Colombian students, may be a way to
respond to the present and future educational
demands for competitiveness. Objective. Analyze
the viability of adopting the AICLE (Aprendizaje
integrado de contenido y lengua extranjera) in
Spanish, or CLIL (Content and Language Integrated
Learning) in English in Colombia. AICLE/ CLIL
is a language learning methodology, which is
already widely used and accepted in European countries, according to recognized studies, with
excellent results in the teaching of foreign languages.
Materials and Methods. A descriptive/exploratory
study was carried out using a survey designed under
the parameters of Coyle & Marsh (2010), to record
the perceptions of 30 teachers, who at the time had
already been using AICLE/ CLIL in bilingual schools
in the country. Information was tabulated on an Excel
spreadsheet and consolidated into graphs to better
illustrate the findings. Results. Findings show that
teachers have a positive perception of the AICLE/
CLIL methodology. They deem its implementation in
the Colombian educational system feasible with a
projection to improve competitiveness. Conclusions.
The AICLE/ CLIL methodology has wide international
implementation and acceptance. Its dynamics allow
students to incorporate the learning of English while
learning about other content. It facilitates the renovation
of pedagogical models; its essence coincides with the
national policies for competitiveness.
