Despite growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches, there remains a lack of comprehensive models that effectively align linguistic development with broader cognitive and curricular goals. This research aims to explore the theoretical foundations, practical implementation, and educational impact of integrative teaching methods in EFL classrooms for non-native speakers. Drawing on elements from innatism, interactionist, and cognitive learning theories, as well as communicative competence and transdisciplinary integration, we demonstrate that integrative instruction not only fosters holistic language acquisition but also cultivates critical thinking and intercultural skills. However, the implementation of such models is constrained by factors such as curricular fragmentation, unequal access to digital resources, institutional inertia, and limited teacher training. Therefore, it is highlighted the necessity of collaborative curricular design, inclusive assessment strategies, and equitable infrastructure to bridge the gap between theory and classroom reality.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Hoy en día, la educación de idiomas debe responder a demandas académicas y sociales cada vez más complejas, y por ello, la integración de la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras con otras disciplinas se ha convertido en una prioridad pedagógica. A pesar del creciente interés en los enfoques interdisciplinarios, persiste la falta de modelos integrales que alineen eficazmente el desarrollo lingüístico con objetivos cognitivos y curriculares más amplios. Esta investigación busca explorar los fundamentos teóricos, la implementación práctica y el impacto educativo de los métodos de enseñanza integrativos en las aulas de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) para hablantes no nativos. Basándonos en elementos de las teorías innatistas, interaccionistas y cognitivas del aprendizaje, así como en la competencia comunicativa y la integración transdisciplinaria, se demuestra que la instrucción integrativa no solo fomenta la adquisición holística del lenguaje, sino que también cultiva el pensamiento crítico y las habilidades interculturales. Sin embargo, la implementación de estos modelos se ve limitada por factores como la fragmentación curricular, el acceso desigual a los recursos digitales, la inercia institucional y la limitada formación docente. Por lo tanto, se destaca la necesidad de un diseño curricular colaborativo, estrategias de evaluación inclusivas e infraestructura equitativa para reducir la brecha entre la teoría y la realidad del aula.]]></p></abstract>
