This research examines the efficacy of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach in teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP), specifically within the context of economics education. It investigates the integration of language learning with economics, aiming to enhance both English proficiency and subject knowledge. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and tests among students in CLIL and traditional programs, the study evaluates student engagement, satisfaction, and academic performance. Anticipated findings suggest potential advantages of CLIL in fostering a deeper understanding of economics while improving language skills. The research contributes to developing guidelines for effectively implementing CLIL in economics teaching, with implications for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers in bilingual and ESP education.
