CONTENT

Page 4: Content based instruction 13062013

instead of focusing on language forms, the curriculum in this method is based on content.

Page 5: Content based instruction 13062013

CBI is successful with many different ages and countries

Page 6: Content based instruction 13062013

CBI has been used primarily in K12 settings in both native and non-native speaking countries

Implementation of CBI at the university level has been increased recently

Page 9: Content based instruction 13062013

Reasonsof thisincreasing?

Page 10: Content based instruction 13062013

Demographic changes in the university students population in native-English contexts

emergence of English as an international language (Crandall & Kaufman, 2002)

CBI can be considered, simultaneously, as a:• Philosophical orientation• L2 teaching approach• Methodology• Syllabus design for one

specific course• Structure for an entire

program study

Page 12: Content based instruction 13062013

CBI is “the teaching of content or information in the language being learned with little or no direct or explicit effort to teach the language itself separately from the content being taught” (Richards & Rodgers 2001)

2Features

ofContent-basedInstruction

Page 14: Content based instruction 13062013

1. All CBI programs are based on a subject matter core (Stryker & Leaver, 1997; Wesche, 1993)

Page 15: Content based instruction 13062013

Past L2 approachesGrammatical-structural or skill-based orientationContent was far from the classroomClass time was filled with language manipulation and discussions about usage (Krueger & Ryan, 1993)

Page 16: Content based instruction 13062013

CBI calls for a top-down approach to L2 teaching that focuses on meaning (Crandall & Kaufman, 2002)

Page 17: Content based instruction 13062013

Content becomes the organizing principle of the curriculum

Page 18: Content based instruction 13062013

Students learn simultaneously learn content and language because the “artificial” separation between language and content is eliminated (Stryker & Leaver, 1997)

Page 19: Content based instruction 13062013

2. CBI programs all have the double objective of content mastery and L2 development.

Page 20: Content based instruction 13062013

Linguistic skills are not sacrificed by focusing on content

Page 21: Content based instruction 13062013

WHY?

Page 22: Content based instruction 13062013

CBI programs should have well-planned, systematic, and purposeful treatment of language (Snow, 1993)

Page 23: Content based instruction 13062013

From every concept or topic, there are certain linguistic features that are necessary to understand and talk about

Page 24: Content based instruction 13062013

Also, there is language which is not necessary but it is compatible with the topic or concept

Page 25: Content based instruction 13062013

Content-obligatory” and “content-compatible” linguistic features are integrated with treatment and mastery of content-knowledge (Snow, Met, & Genesee, 1989)

Page 26: Content based instruction 13062013

Secondary goals of CBI are:• Developing critical thinking

skills• Gaining cultural insights• Developing strategy and

coping mechanisms for dealing with new language

(Owens, 2002; Snow, 1993; Stryker & Leaver, 1997)

3. The content and learning activities correspond to the linguistic, cognitive, and affective needs of the students and are appropriate to their professional needs and personal interests

Page 28: Content based instruction 13062013

4. CBI programs use authentic language and texts.The core material used in class is selected from that which was produced for native language speakers

Page 29: Content based instruction 13062013

5. CBI asks students to use the target language to do asignments
