Content based instruction (CBI) is a
teaching method that emphasizes
learning about something rather than
learning about language.
The Sheltered Model
Sheltered and adjunct CBI usually occurs at
universities in English contexts.
Adjunct classes are usually taught
by ESL teachers.
Theme based CBI is usually
found in EFL contexts.
Theme based CBI is taught to students with
TEFL scores usually in the range 350 to 500.
Here is the syllabus for a theme based CBI
psychology class that I team taught with a
psychologist:
There are textbooks that can
be used for theme based CBI
classes which usually contain a
variety of readings followed by
vocabulary and comprehension
exercises.
 The Flesch-Kincaid test is one method of
measuring the readability of writing.
Difficulty is assessed by analyzing sentence
length and the number of syllables per word.
 A theme based CBI course should have both
content and language goals.
 Student progress can then be assessed when
classes are underway. Continuous assessment
is effective.
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.

  • 2. The Sheltered Model Sheltered and adjunct CBI usually occurs at universities in English contexts.
  • 3. Adjunct classes are usually taught by ESL teachers.
