Content-based instruction uses subject matter from academic disciplines as the vehicle for language instruction rather than focusing on language skills alone. Historically, content in language teaching referred mainly to grammatical structures, but communicative approaches broadened the definition of content. Content-based instruction integrates learning a language with learning academic content, providing benefits such as increased motivation, but potential problems need to be addressed like ensuring language objectives are met.
