Abstract

This study presents the development of an English for Chemistry module based on the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach to improve the competencies of chemistry education students and pre-service teachers. Using the 4-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the module integrates English language skills with chemistry concepts through interactive and user-friendly digital media. Expert validation confirmed high levels of content (97.23%), media (97.67%), and pedagogical (96.96%) quality, while practicality tests with lecturers and students reached excellent scores (98.4% and 98.54%). The module effectively supports 21st-century learning by enhancing communication, scientific literacy, and digital competence, while promoting sustainable and paperless education.
