Content-Based Instruction (CBI) is an approach under the category of Communicative Language Teaching.
Definition: It is the teaching of content or information in the language being learned with little or no direct or explicit effort to teach the language itself separately from the content being taught. (Krahnke, 1987)
The Relationship of Language and Content in Regular Language and Subject Matter Classes Compared to CBI
In many contexts, students learn language and subject matter separately.
In content-based instruction, students learn language and subject matter simultaneously.
Summary
CBI is an effective method of combining language and content learning. Theme based CBI works well in EFL contexts, and I believe its use will increase as teachers continue to design new syllabi in response to student needs and interests. As I said at the beginning, I believe that learner motivation increases when students are learning about something, rather than just studying language. Theme based CBI is particularly appealing in this respect because teachers can use almost any content materials that they feel their students will enjoy. What can be better than seeing our students create something and learn language at the same time?
