This article explores psychological traits and characteristics that significantly impact students' outcomes when CLIL is implemented in language education. Key factors including motivation, anxiety, self-efficacy, and cognitive flexibility are examined, providing insights into enhancing language learning through tailored pedagogical strategies.
