The Integration of Biology Content Lessons in the English Curriculum through

participate?
engagement part, it was evidenced through the 
development of a snake activity. During the study stage, 
it was evidenced through the development of a fill in the 
chart activity. Finally, during the Activate stage, it was 
evidenced through the interaction in pairs in the 
speaking/writing activity. 
Does the student teacher 
use different strategies to 
grouping learners?
X
The use of grouping techniques was not evidenced during 
the lesson. The group was divided in pairs without the 
implementation of any grouping technique. 
Does the student-teacher 
manage disruptive 
behavior appropriately?
X
Not applied. 
Are the standards to 
teach English 
appropriately included in 
the lesson planning?
X
The general as well as the specific standards are included 
in the lesson plan.
Do learners show 
progress in the language 
learning process?
X
It was evidenced during the unscramble activity, where 
students monitor and correct some mistakes by 
themselves. Additionally, during the fill in the chart 
activity, students complete the chart using the correct 
form of the comparative adjectives. 
Does the student-teacher 
provide a relaxing 
atmosphere to his class?
X
It was evidenced during the spaces for students to 
participate and discuss the topics. The teacher allowed 
students to participate actively, eliciting them to do it by

Does the student-teacher 
use strategies to fulfill the 
learners needs based on 
their learning styles?
X
During the class were evidence the use of activities that 
allowed the visual, aural and kinesthetic students´ 
learning styles. The kinesthetic learning style was 
evidenced during the warm-up activity. The aural learning 
style was evidenced during the speaking activity. Finally, 
the visual learning style was evidenced during the 
unscramble and fill in the chart activities. 
Do students react 
positively to the 
integration of biology 
content lessons in 
English? 
X
Students showed a positive reaction to the 
implementation of the class participating and providing 
opinions during the whole class about the topics 
“comparatives and superlatives related to the cell parts”. 
Do students filled the 
student-teacher’s 
expectations focused on 
the learners’ language 
X
Students exceeded the researchers’ expectations in 
terms of the biology content knowledge and superlatives, 
since students understood and provided ideas about the 
specific characteristics of some of the cell parts.
