Abstract
In a major globalized job market, bilingual skills are becoming essential for professionals in general. Nonetheless, students from technical/vocational high schools, as part of the Ministry of Public Education (MEP) curricula, are expected to graduate with a B2/C1 level of proficiency, in addition to their technical training in the target language. However, Costa Rican technical high schools face challenges in equipping students with the necessary English technical vocabulary, which limits their ability to access better job opportunities. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of interdisciplinary audiovisual projects as a strategy for enhancing technical vocabulary acquisition among 12th-grade students at Colegio Técnico Profesional CIT. By integrating the subject of English with Productivity and Design through the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach, the research seeks to determine how audiovisual projects can promote more meaningful and practical language learning experiences
for both teachers and students.
