Content Based Instruction (CBI)
Content- based instruction, a
methodology that concerns the teaching of both subject content and language,
was originally associated with language immersion education in Canada (Grabe
and Stroller, 1997, p.6), but became increasingly associated with EFL/ESL
teaching in the late 1980s. It contrasts with EFL/ESL instruction centered upon
the teaching of discrete language skill (i.e. conversation classes, or
listening classes). One early paper which considered CBI and EFL together was
Mohan’s (1979) who explored three cases of relations between language teaching
and content teaching (namely : language teaching by, with and for content
teaching).
Brinton,
snow, and Wesche, (1989), in (Brown, 2001:49) stated that content based instruction is integration of content
learning with language teaching aims. More specifically, it refers to the
concurrent study of language and subject matter with the form and sequence of
language presentation dictated by the content material. In this case content based instruction may
yield an increase in intrinsic motivation and empowerment, since students are
focused on the subject matter is important for their life.
Content
based instruction (CBI) is a teaching approach that focuses on learning
language through learning about something. Although CBI is not new, there has
been an increased interest in it because it has proven very effective in ESL
and EFL programs around the world.
