AB The  popularity  of  Content  and  Language  Integrated  Learning  (CLIL),  as  a  pedagog-ical  approach  requiring  a  flexible  meth-odology  to  learn  content  and  a  foreign  language  (FL),  is  unquestionable  today.  Cooperative learning (CL) seems to be an ideal  methodology  to  meet  the  demands  of  CLIL.  This  study  is  aimed  at  collecting  the  perceptions  of  CLIL  teachers  with  re-gard  to  the  challenges  that  this  approach  entails when CL is implemented in prima-ry-school classrooms. The respondents (n=35)  completed  an  online  survey  with  25  questions (closed-ended and open-ended). Results revealed the following challenges: use of the target language for interaction; motivation;  lack  of  time;  potential  man-agement  problems;  and  assessment.  On  the other hand, respondents declared that in  order  to  feel  confident  when  combin-ing  CLIL  and  CL  they  would  need  more  training.  Finally,  we  provided  some  rec-ommendations  for  each  grade  of  Primary  Education so as to shed some light on the challenges  teachers  perceive  when  CL  is  employed in CLIL subjects. This leaves an open door for further studies on CL in CLIL lessons from other countries.
