 defined by Snow (2014), is an
umbrella term for a multifaceted
approach to second foreign
language teaching that differs in
terms of factors such as
educational setting, program
objectives, and taught
population but shares a
common point of departure: the
integration of language teaching
aims with content instruction.
What is content in CBI?

emphasizes that
content is any subject
matter or topic that
focuses on certain
meaning with the given
content instruction.
FOCUS OF LANGUAGE
EDUCATION
should be meaningful
and relevant input
rather than
grammatical form in
order to achieve the
goal of improving
linguistic competence
Key Concepts
 Language is text and discourse based
- - content-based instruction sees
language as a vehicle for learning
and centers in linguistic entities.
 Language use draws on integrated skills
- students are actively involved in
activities that link the skills, such as
knowledge, language, and thinking
skills, provide coherence and continuity
across skill areas, and focus on the use
of language in connected discourse.
Key Concepts

language is purposeful
- it gives direction and
texts. When learners
focus on the purpose
of the language, they
become engaged in
the process.
 Language involve meaning
and information are
communicated and
constructed through text and
discourse.
 Language is more motivating
when students are focusing on
something such as ideas and
opinions.

second language more
successfully
2. 2. Content-based
instruction better
reflects learners needs
for learning a second
language

 Anchored on two
coordinated courses. It
