One of the most pertinent things to make happen in Colombian Education is that of
improving the FLL into the society. With the advent of the pandemic, it is captivating to
consider FLL through a different, updated, and contextualized methodology from the
traditional one. CLIL, looked upon as a methodology that involves Content and Language
learning at the same time, is taken into online training processes. That way, in a qualitative
paradigm related to Action Research, it was fundamental to design and to implement Mixed
Activities based on students’ backgrounds for the oral skill production improvement, that
motivate students into using this skill in order to express their ideas and opinions on Covid-
19. Thus, it was considered the implementation of questionnaires, a documentary review,
non-participant observation exercises, and a focus group to see the extent of the proposal
for methodological and oral skill issues in twenty Nursing senior students at UPTC. The
FLL after the implementation of the Mixed Activities, let students work on them regarding
their personal, social, and cultural contexts. The online activities contributed to having
more contact with the FL to acquiring as many vocabulary content components as possible
to deal orally with the activities. The in-person lessons could show what students knew and
were capable of performing orally in front of the teacher for assessment. Their oral skill
improved by interacting with the lesson mates. The oral expression, comprehension and
negotiation played the seminal role of communication regardless of the mistakes in
pronunciation, language structure, hesitation, lack of vocabulary that came up in this
exercise.
