Content-based instruction integrates language teaching with academic content. It presents language in a meaningful, contextualized way to facilitate information acquisition. The content determines the language structures, vocabulary, and functions taught. Research shows content-based instruction results in effective language and content learning, as well as increased motivation, because students learn language best through meaningful, relevant content rather than studying language itself.

1. CONTENT-BASED INSTRUCTION (CBI) IS
“THE INTEGRATION OF PARTICULAR
CONTENT WITH LANGUAGE TEACHING
AIMS.”
CONTENT-BASED INSTRUCTION

2.  It is based on the underlying principle that
successful language learning occurs when
students are presented with selections in the
target language (IN OUR CASE , ENGLISH) in a
meaningful, contextualized form, with the primary
focus on acquiring information and knowledge.

3.  In (CBI), content becomes the organizing
principle: and language structures, vocabulary
and functions are selected by the teacher that are
both necessary for the content and that are
compatible with it. CBI approach “… views the
target largely as the vehicle through which
subject matter content is learned rather than as
object of study.”

4.  Researcher have shown that CBI result in
effective language learning, content learning,
increased motivation and interest levels. This is
because students learn language best when
there is an emphasis on relevant, meaningful
content rather than on the language itself. In
content-based classes, students have more
opportunities to use the content knowledge and
experties

5. The bring to class- they activate their prior knowledge,
which leads to increased learning of language and of
th content material.
1.) coordinate with subject teachers about the topics
that they will be having.
2.) select a text from any of these other subject areas.
3.) determine a Filipino or English lesson that is
applicable to the text from the other subject.
4.) plan task/activities that will help students learn
identified language skill/s using the text from the
other subject area.
5.) teacher in the subject area where the text was
adapted discusses the topic according to the needed
KSA’s of his/her subject area.
