CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and CBI (Content-Based Instruction) 

Introduction

The following activity consisted of a team presentation by five members, in which we developed the topics of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and CBI (Content-Based Instruction). During this collaborative work, we not only researched and organized information, but also strengthened our English communication skills through constant practice of pronunciation and oral expression. To carry out the activity, we followed a series of steps that included reviewing materials, identifying difficult words, practicing pronunciation, and recording the presentation using technological support tools. This process allowed us to improve our confidence when speaking and understand the importance of prior preparation for an academic presentation.

Reflection

This activity was a very enriching experience because it allowed me to work as part of a team and learn more about CLIL and CBI approaches, which aim to integrate content learning with language development. Furthermore, practicing the presentation several times helped me improve my pronunciation, fluency, and confidence when speaking English. The use of technological tools and the pronunciation coach was especially helpful, as I was able to identify errors and correct difficult words before making the final recording. I also learned the importance of collaboration and organization within a team to achieve a clear and effective presentation. Overall, this experience strengthened my language skills and motivated me to continue practicing English more consistently and confidently.
