These days, we can observe how English \nlanguage lessons try to fulfill the students’ needs for \ncommunication using different strategies and methodologies \nsuch as team teaching in the CLIL approach. This paper \nprovides some theoretical background about the \nmethodologies used in Spain in the past and the way in which \nwe can adapt them to the current English lessons in order to \nhelp students raise their English language level as well as \ntheir academic results
