Proposal: The BioCLIL Programme
Proposal: The BioCLIL Programme
From: AICult -The International Centre for Educational Research & Innovation
To: Italian Secondary Schools (Scuole Secondarie di Secondo Grado)
Subject: Bridging STEM and Language Acquisition through Vibe Coding
We are pleased to present BioCLIL, a cutting-edge educational initiative designed specifically for the Italian school curriculum. Our mission is to transform the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) experience by moving away from static textbooks and towards immersive, interactive technology.
By utilising Vibe coding—a creative, intuitive approach to software development—we have designed a suite of free, lightweight applications. These tools allow students to manipulate biological concepts directly while simultaneously acquiring high-level scientific English vocabulary.
Why This Matters for Italian Schools
Why This Matters for Italian Schools
Accessibility: As a web-based app generated via Vibe coding, it runs on any device (interactive whiteboards, tablets, or smartphones) without installation.
Active Recall: It shifts the student from a passive observer to an active participant in the biological process.
Linguistic Precision: It enforces correct British terminology, crucial for students aiming for international scientific careers.
1. The Interactive Anatomy Lab
Students are presented with a high-fidelity model of the digestive tract. Using touch or mouse input, they can isolate specific organs. The interface uses rigorous British scientific spelling (e.g., Oesophagus, Faeces, Caecum).
Feature: Click-to-reveal definitions and audio pronunciation guides to perfect the distinct sounds of scientific English.
2. The 'Journey of a Bite' Simulation
This module utilises the logic capabilities of Gemini to simulate physiological processes. Students "feed" the system different macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids).
The Process: The app visualises the breakdown of food, showing enzyme activity (such as amylase in the mouth or pepsin in the stomach) and the mechanics of peristalsis.
Vibe Coding Element: The visuals react dynamically to student inputs, offering immediate feedback if they misidentify an enzyme or a process.
3. AI-Powered Inquiry
Embedded within the app is a restricted version of the Gemini model acting as a "Virtual Biologist."
Roleplay: Students can ask questions like, "What happens if the gall bladder is removed?" or "Explain the role of villi in absorption."
Output: The AI provides answers in clear, level-appropriate English, specifically tailored to the B2/C1 CEFR levels required by the Italian curriculum.
4. The 'Gut-Brain' Quiz
To consolidate learning, the app concludes with a gamified assessment.
Challenge: Students must drag and drop labels to the correct anatomical positions and match physiological functions to the correct organs under a time limit.
