The following Didactic Proposal centers around the current standard of students’
learning skills and how the use of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) can
improve the development of Independent Leaning skills by building a solid methodological
foundation. Through the Art subject in Canary Island’s curriculum, this Proposal targets a
group of 11-12 year old students whose characteristics have been studied and analyzed in
order to design an appropriate plan based on the CLIL principles. Said plan was put into
practice in a high school during two months leading to a process of in-field experimentation
and adaptation. The results were analyzed and then transformed into a series of
conclusions and guidelines for improving the original Didactic Proposal in hopes of putting
it into practice and continuing its development.
Key words: Didactic Proposal, CLIL, cognition, Art classroom, high school.
