El aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera representa un desafío importante para los estudiantes de bachillerato en Ecuador, especialmente en el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora. El presente estudio analizó la relación entre la aplicación del enfoque Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), mediado por material relacionado con la Informática, y el desarrollo de las habilidades de lectura en inglés. Se empleó un diseño cuantitativo, cuasiexperimental y de alcance comparativo–correlacional, complementado con un componente cualitativo. Participaron 121 estudiantes de bachillerato técnico en Informática: un grupo experimental (n = 60) que trabajó con la metodología CLIL a través de vocabulario técnico, lecturas especializadas, el proyecto Informatics dictionary y actividades interactivas, y un grupo de control (n = 61) que siguió la enseñanza tradicional del idioma. Se aplicó un test de suficiencia lectora sobre diez puntos que evaluó cinco subhabilidades (skimming, scanning, vocabulario en contexto, inferencias, y estructura y propósito), junto con un cuestionario de percepción en escala de Likert y una pregunta abierta. El grupo experimental obtuvo un promedio superior (M = 8.17; DE = 2.10) frente al grupo de control (M = 7.61; DE = 2.30), con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la subhabilidad de skimming (p = .033) y un tamaño del efecto global pequeño (d = 0.25). Más del 72 % de los encuestados valoró positivamente la metodología en todas las dimensiones, y el análisis cualitativo destacó la adquisición de vocabulario técnico, la motivación y la conexión con la futura vida profesional. Se concluye que CLIL con material informático constituye una alternativa pedagógica pertinente para fortalecer la lectura en inglés en el bachillerato técnico ecuatoriano.
