| Sumario: | The Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach is presented as an innovative methodology that integrates content and foreign language learning simultaneously. In this context, educational escape rooms have emerged as an effective proposal that aims to address classroom dynamics by including gamified elements and other methodologies such as cooperative learning and problem-based learning (PBL). In the CLIL approach, specifically, educational escape rooms provide an interactive scenario for students who must solve a series of puzzles, challenges, or activities related to the content covered while reinforcing foreign language learning. For this reason, this dissertation addresses the hypothetical introduction of the educational escape room into the first-year secondary school History curricula following a CLIL approach. This would be accomplished through the creation of a didactic proposal based on the dimensions of life in Ancient Rome: society, politics, economics, art and religion. Through this proposal, students would be immersed in the heart of Rome, where they would encounter a mysterious character whose identity, they would have to reveal by following a series of clues that would lead to the resolution of the final mystery. Thus, the aim of this proposal would be to demonstrate the effectiveness of the educational escape room in the CLIL approach in terms of improving content acquisition in the subject of History and developing communication skills in a foreign language, in this case, English. |
