Book excerpt: This dissertation conducts a literature review that explores the concept of coteaching, an innovative educational approach emerged over the last decades which stands as an efficient strategy not only to enhance students' academic performance but also to embody 21st century keystone values such as collaborative learning and inclusion. The main aims of the dissertation are, on the one hand, to identify the main requirements needed to successfully implement coteaching not only regarding teachers, but also other stakeholders of the educational community such as schools and institutions. On the other hand, the implementation of coteaching combined with other innovative approaches in Foreign Language Education (FLE) contexts will also be explored, specifically in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. The aim is to determine the potential contributions that these two innovative instructional approaches can add to each other. In order to do so, several research articles have been selected from the literature according to specific criteria, and they will be analysed to retrieve information that helps answering the main aims previously mentioned. The evidence collected provides a wide and specific list of measures and requirements in order to achieve a successful implementation of coteaching. Furthermore, the information extracted from research articles conducted in Catalonia suggests a promising and reciprocal relationship between coteaching and CLIL. All the research questions have been answered and further research lines and professional development opportunities have also been settled.
