CBI uses subject matter content to teach language skills, with the goals of helping students learn information through the target language and become autonomous learners. CBI is based on using language as a tool for content learning, and reflecting learners' needs for a practical second language. Teachers must have knowledge in the subject matter and guide students to elicit their own understanding, while materials facilitate language learning through relevant content topics like newspapers and radio.

CBI is the topic or

teacher as it helps
students to develop
valuable study
skills such as note

3. Approach
CBI is grounded on the following two central
principles:
1. Peoples learn second language more
successfully when they use the language as a
means of acquiring information.
2. CBI better reflects learners needs for learning a
second language.
This principles reflects the fact that many content
based programs serve to access the content
learning and teaching.

4. Objective → In CBI, language learning is typically
considered incidental to the learning of content.
For example: integrating reading and writing skills.
Learner roles → One goal of CBI is for learners to
become autonomous so that they come to understand
their own learning process.
The role of teachers → Teachers must be
knowledgeable in the subject matter and able to elicit that
knowledge from their students.
The roles of materials → The materials that facilitate
language learning with the subject matter of the content
course.
For example: newspaper and radio.
DESIGN

5. BENEFITS OF CBI
* Learning language becomes
automatic
* CBI supports contextualized learning
* Information is delivered through real
life context for the students to grasp
well.

6. conclusion
In a content based approach, the activities
of the language class are specific to the
subject being taught, and to stimulate
students to think and learn through the
target language. For example, it employs
authentic reading materials which require
students not only to understand information
but to interpret and evaluate it as well.
