This literature review aims to analyze the impact of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach on the teaching-learning process. Through a systematic review of the scientific literature, this study seeks to identify the main findings regarding the effectiveness of CLIL, the factors that influence its successful implementation, and its implications for educational practice. The methodology employed consisted of an exhaustive search in academic databases, using rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria to select the most relevant studies. The selected articles were critically analyzed to identify the main trends, results, and gaps in the research. The results of this review indicate that CLIL has great potential to improve both foreign language learning and mastery of curricular content. However, its effectiveness depends on various factors, such as teacher training, the availability of suitable teaching materials, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the educational context. Additionally, the need for more long-term research with more robust methodological designs was identified to better understand the underlying mechanisms of learning in CLIL environments. In conclusion, CLIL is positioned as an innovative methodology that can enrich the educational experience of students. However, its implementation requires careful planning and specialized teacher training. It is recommended that future research explore the impact of CLIL in different educational contexts, the relationship between CLIL and the development of digital competencies, and the design of initial and continuing training programs for teachers who wish to implement this methodology
