This study aims to investigate the feasibility of implementing language-content integrated teaching through the application of Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach(CALLA). It is also based on content-based instruction in which language and academic content are integrated in a meaningful context. This study also examined whether the language-content integrated teaching using CALLA approach influences students' reading ability as well as the understanding of content knowledge of subject areas. Data for both quantitative and qualitative analysis were collected from students' journals, the teacher's field notes, interviews as well as test results. This study revealed that students can develop content knowledge as they develop language skills. Major findings are: (1) there was a significant improvement in their reading abilities and their content knowledge; (2) there was a difference between the two learners in their strategy use. Suggestions and based on the findings are discussed
