This article explores the implementation and effectiveness of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in secondary education.

Based on data collected from schools in Uzbekistan, the study demonstrates that CLIL improves student motivation, language skills, and content comprehension when appropriately supported by trained teachers and tailored resources.
