Content Based Instruction (CBI)

·         Content Based Instruction is an approach to language instruction that integrates content, in this method students learn through doing and are actively engaged in the learning process.

Benefits of content based instruction

1. Learners are exposed to a considerable amount of language through stimulating  content. Learners explore interesting content & are engaged in appropriate language-dependent activities. Learning language becomes automatic.

2. CBI supports contextualized learning; learners are taught useful language that is embedded within relevant discourse contexts rather than as isolated language fragments. Hence students make greater connections with the language & what they already know.

3. Complex information is delivered through real life context for the students to grasp well & leads to intrinsic motivation.

4. In CBI information is reiterated by strategically delivering information at right time & situation compelling the students to learn out of passion.

5. Greater flexibility & adaptability in the curriculum can be deployed as per the students interest.

Goal

The goal of CBI is to prepare students to acquire the languages while using the context of any subject matter so that students learn the language by using it within the specific context.
