Abstract
This article presents a didactic proposal with an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to help solve the problem of the decoupling of language teaching with science subjects through the implementation of science dissemination texts with scientific experiments translated into English, French, German, Italian, Chinese and Purepecha. The article focuses on the repository integrated by 26 translations and proposes ways of implementing the booklets within the foreign language class. The translation of material published by the Center for Geosciences was done by language teachers from the National Preparatory School of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and native scientists of each language from the UNAM Scientific Coordination. These publications were used in language classes where students generated interactive material and teaching resources. Samples of the formats and instruments used in the implementation are included in the results section.
