%X Success in CLIL depends on making students able to understand and express academic material. In theory, a high
linguistic competence will enable students to smoothly deal with the content, although there might be occasions in
which the students are not equipped with a solid command of the basic linguistic skills. The idea posited in this article is
that, in parallel with other procedures and measures brought up to promote a correct employment of the language, the
construction of a structure of collaboration between the language and the content teachers could contribute to attain
positive results in CLIL, and may help mitigate the consequences of a possible linguistic deficit. In particular, the
collaboration between the language and content teachers, the collaboration between the content teachers themselves,
and the collaboration between all the languages present in the curriculum (mother tongue, language of
instruction/foreign language, and any other languages) may result in a better ability to work with academic material on
the part of the students, and may provide them with the necessary linguistic support to understand and express this
content. We will discuss the theoretical foundations behind this proposal, and we will put forward a series of
recommendations aiming at establishing and carrying out this structure of collaboration and coordination.
