When foreign language learning became a social goal, the Department of Education of Catalonia began to organize language teaching programs with a specific goal: to create a multilingual school project that would offer students the opportunity to start learning and using languages in contexts such as Physical Education. In addition, the CRLE (Foreign Language Resource Center) was created in February 1986, and it was through it that various experimental plans began to be promoted. In October 2007, accompanied by two of the most recognized authorities in the field of CLIL (Do Coyle, and Philip Hood) I started a background career in teaching-learning through the Clil methodology in the framework of Physical Education curriculum. Since then, english and technology have accompanied my specific teaching of Physical Education; a subject with privileged environment for the achievement of competencies that involve the harmonious integration of knowledge, practical skills, attitudes and other social and behavioral components that mobilize to ensure the foundations of healthy habits of physical practice that will build their lifelong learning process.
