To examine how artificial intelligence tools can support Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) through embodied, multimodal instruction in secondary physical education.
Conducted an exploratory, design-based intervention involving N=25 students aged 13–14 (2° ESO) at a secondary school in Spain.
Designed and implemented four CLIL modules grounded in the Content and Language Processing Sequence (CLPS) framework using AI tools such as NaturalReader and Gliglish.
Evaluated student engagement, embodied participation, vocabulary use, and comprehension via a student perception survey and structured teacher observations.
Students reported high levels of engagement and positive perceptions of learning, particularly in task comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.
Interactive AI tools successfully supported pronunciation practice and interactive dialogue when integrated directly with physical movement.
Teacher observations confirmed that effective embodied learning with AI requires structured pedagogical scaffolding and careful task design.
