This document presents a SWOT analysis of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). It identifies strengths such as improved language skills for students and opportunities to share experiences internationally, but also weaknesses such as many students and teachers having insufficient English literacy and threats such as potentially lower grades or students not getting involved due to language barriers. The analysis also notes that CLIL requires extra effort from teachers to modify lessons.
