This document analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The strengths include learning English and another subject simultaneously, which leads to more competent students. The weaknesses involve non-native English teachers and students' varying English levels. Opportunities exist to improve students' English competency and create shared CLIL methodologies. Threats include teachers' and students' differing English levels and acceptance of CLIL across all grades.
