This article explores the effectiveness of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in developing students’ language skills in English within subject-specific contexts. The study focuses on the integration of content knowledge and language acquisition, particularly in higher education settings. By applying CLIL methodology, learners are exposed to authentic materials and meaningful communication, which enhances their cognitive engagement and linguistic competence. The research analyzes various teaching strategies, classroom practices, and assessment methods that support the development of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. The findings suggest that CLIL not only improves language proficiency but also promotes critical thinking, intercultural awareness, and subject understanding. The article concludes that CLIL serves as an innovative and effective pedagogical approach for modern education systems.
