The aim of the present study is to investigate the present state and existing models of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the monolingual context of Lithuania and the current perspective of school administrators (school principals and vice-principals) on CLIL and its implementation in Lithuanian secondary schools. A survey of three hundred and one school administrators was conducted. The article discusses the results of the survey by considering the present state of CLIL in Lithuanian secondary schools, the factors that would motivate school administrators to be more willing to engage in CLIL implementation, and the help that school administrators perceive as necessary for more efficient CLIL implementation in their schools. The results of the present study are intended to provide suggestions and recommendations for using CLIL more effectively in Lithuanian secondary school classrooms.

Summary CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), as an approach to bilingual education in which both content and a foreign language are taught together, started to be employed in secondary schools of Lithuania more than a decade ago; however, there still exists a diversity of opinions towards its benefits and flaws. The studies on CLIL in the European countries have shown that the success of CLIL very much depends on the existing policy documents on the national level regulating CLIL implementation and providing guidance to schools and teachers. It also depends on the amount of research conducted on CLIL in a particular country. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyse the current state of affairs of CLIL in Lithuania in terms of the existing policy documents, implemented projects and conducted research that would serve as a theoretical background highlighting the necessity for further analytical investigation. The results of the analysis have shown that no coherent national policies in terms of teaching CLIL have been developed or legal government regulations have been issued in Lithuania until today. The present study has revealed that systematic approach towards investigation of CLIL in Lithuania has not yet been adopted which resulted in the lack of comprehensive analyses on an overall situation of CLIL in Lithuania as well as on factors ensuring efficiency of CLIL implementation in particular. The findings of the study point towards the need for such analyses in the future.
