Abstract: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has emerged as a
prominent pedagogical approach that integrates subject content and language
instruction, aiming to enhance both language acquisition and academic performance.
This article evaluates the effectiveness of CLIL by analyzing its theoretical
foundations, implementation strategies, and measurable outcomes in educational
contexts. Drawing on recent research, the study examines the cognitive, linguistic, and
cultural benefits of CLIL while addressing the challenges faced by educators and
students. Key focus areas include the role of teacher preparation, resource availability,
and contextual adaptability in determining the success of CLIL programs. The findings
provide a balanced perspective on the opportunities and limitations of CLIL, offering
recommendations for optimizing its implementation in diverse educational settings.
