In Japan, students study English as a compulsory and elective foreign language course for several years, but near in the future, English will be a subject from the 3rd grade. Educators are pursuing more effective ways of teaching English in the Japanese education system. The purpose of this paper is to identify how the hard CLIL approach in a Japanese university affect both the students and instructors. The instructors did one-time team teaching for the students taking an “Educational counseling” class. This class is compulsory for students who want to earn a teaching certificate. Although the amount of collected data was limited, both the advantages and difficulties of applying CLIL in the classroom are clarified.
