This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Some advantages are that it allows students to learn a foreign language naturally in other subject classes, it works on all four language skills, and increases student motivation. Some disadvantages are that students initially earn lower marks, teachers may not have perfect fluency, and parents cannot help with homework if they don't know the foreign language. However, the conclusion is that CLIL is one of the best methods for teaching a foreign language and that over time the disadvantages will be overcome as fluency improves.

fluency.
• Sometimes students learn the concepts in the foreign language but
they don’t know it in their mother tongue.
• A lot of parents can’t help their children with the homeworks because
they don’t know the foreign language.

4. Conclusions
Although we have found the same number of advantages and
disadvantages, we think that CLIL is one of the best methods to teach a
foreign language.
In the future the disadvantages will be overcome. The marks will be
higher because the children will know the foreign laguage perfectly. The
foreign language will be more extended, so teachers will have real
fluency and parents will be able to help their children with the
homeworks.
