In the last two decades, the number of bilingual schools has increased considerably. The main objective of our research was to find out the perception of the competences acquired after Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) teaching among the students of a subject of the Master's Degree in Teacher Training, specialising in Physical Education (PE), at the University of Granada. The second objective was to analyse this information in order to establish improvements in the subject. To evaluate this study, 5 semi-structured interviews were conducted at the end of the course. After a first overall analysis of the interviews, the main categories that emerged were the improvement of language and teaching competences both at the macro-level in relation to the subject in general and at the micro-level in relation to their performance and to the practical PE session. The present research has already contributed to improving the organisation of the subject and improvements have been made, such as establishing the role of the PE teacher individually and restructuring the role of the organisation of the subject.
