Abstract (English): CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) has increasingly gained recognition as a methodology for teaching mainstream courses at Colombian universities to foster the learning of English through academic subjects in the social sciences. This is a report of how overlaying thematic maps to identify correlating data has been used to develop support for essays which focus on social issues. As students overlaid thematic maps to identify the relationship between social indicators, they were able to sustain a thesis for their essay thesis topics through geographic research. Hence, the exercise demonstrated the simultaneous learning process advocated by CLIL as students acquired map skills to support a thesis in an essay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): El Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (CLIL, por sus siglas en inglés) ha ganado cada vez más reconocimiento como una metodología para enseñar cursos regulares en las universidades colombianas, con el fin de fomentar el aprendizaje del inglés a través de materias académicas en las ciencias sociales. Este es un reporte sobre cómo realizar mapas temáticos para identificar el modo en que la información correlativa ha sido usada para desarrollar soportes para ensayos, los cuales se enfocan en asuntos sociales. Debido a que los estudiantes realizaron mapas temáticos para identificar la relación entre indicadores sociales, estos fueron capaces de mantener una tesis para los temas de sus ensayos a través de investigaciones en geografía. Por consiguiente, el ejercicio demostró el proceso simultáneo de aprendizaje sostenido por el CLIL, ya que los estudiantes adquirieron habilidades para usar mapas y así respaldar una tesis en un ensayo.
