Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to activate the writing skill for 9th-grade EGB student at Unidad Educativa "La Salle" in Riobamba city, period 2022-2023.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an approach that integrates the teaching of subject matter with the acquisition of a foreign language, aiming to enhance the cognitive development of learners. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of CLIL in improving the English writing skills of ninth-grade students. A quasi-experimental design, combining both quantitative and qualitative elements, was employed. Data was collected through a variety of instruments, including pre and post-intervention writing tests and observations. The results indicate that the implementation of CLIL activities had a partially positive impact on the development of students’ writing skills. Improvements were observed in assessed components such as purpose and audience, organization and structure, details, and language conventions, with organization and structure showing the most significant improvement when comparing pre and post-tests. The findings also suggest that CLIL is an effective methodology for enhancing writing skills through the integration of subject matter, providing students with opportunities to expand their vocabulary and gain confidence in their written communication. The study demonstrates that CLIL is an effective method for improving students’ writing skills by accommodating different learning styles and helping students develop all English language skills, including writing, speaking, reading, and listening.
