AB  - In this research, the author shares his experience as a chemistry teacher and his intention to integrate the teaching of chemistry with the English subject in a public school in Cali. This research was an exploratory study using the action research methodology through which the teacher acquired epistemological, theoretical, methodological and strategic training to study, understand and transform his educational practice to improve cognitive competencies in organic chemistry under a transversal approach, fostering at the same time communicative competences in English. The findings provided teachers and the school with relevant information for possible implementation in the curriculum of an integrated approach between 
content and foreign language. The research was developed with eleventh-grade students who participated in the process of strengthening the use of English and Chemistry concepts as well as the appropriation of technology. It also showed that it is possible to create new methodologies to strengthen the use of the foreign language in other subjects under the CLIL approach. The conjugation of these findings makes it relevant for teachers of other subjects to promote English language learning, making it more interesting, attractive and meaningful for students.
