The research main objective is to demonstrate CLIL methodology efficacy together with Duolingo and b-Learning in teaching English, in Colombian diverse socio-economic levels in rural-urban contexts. Including motivation, gender, and social class as covariates. Based on a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with three groups of students in contexts: Urban (n = 32), Rural-Urban (n = 32) and Rural-Vulnerable (n = 30). The results show that the methodology is effective in all three contexts, reaching larger effect sizes in the Rural-Vulnerable context.
