Abstract

Speaking a foreign language fluently is essential in today's educational environment. However, when  language abilities are inadequate, many students face communication difficulties. This study investigates how non-linguistic university students can improve their speaking skills by using the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach. By combining language learning with content-based instruction (CBI), CLIL enhances students' capacity to communicate in spite of language barriers while also advancing topic knowledge. The study emphasises useful strategies, significant obstacles, and how CLIL affects speaking abilities.
