There are several reasons for CLIL being so successful. Probably the most important is that CLIL is supported in many ways by ICT, defined as a diverse set of technological tools and resources that are are used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information. 

The benefits of ICT are many. ICT can be a powerful motivator; add variety and interaction to a lesson; provide stimulating visuals to support understanding of language; help create attractive and professional resources; provide teachers with linguistic support; be a rich source of cultural awareness; allow students to work both collaboratively or independently. 

Strong and fundamental computer skills, help students to master new materials. Knowledge of them can be essential and prepare not only students for many different fields of education. CLIL seems to create the best environment for the combination of them: bilingual education and ICT in learning both content and language.
