Abstract
In this study CLIL-specific issues that were addressed by other authors were gathered in a systematic way, based on which a Needs Analysis was conducted that included questionnaires that were handed out to students and teachers at a private Brazilian bilingual high school. All issues that were encountered were then discussed and, by triangulating results, the most pressing issues identified. Among others, mixed linguistic abilities and teacher training were identified as the most pressing issues within this school. Recommendations on how to address these issues and improve current teaching practice were given to the school. In order to give an idea of how these recommendations could be applied, two lesson plans and activities were designed that were supposed to serve as an inspiration to CLIL teachers how to plan their lessons and design activities. Keywords: CLIL, Teaching issues, needs analysis, teachers training and mixed abilities groups.
