Running head : CONTENT-BASED INSTRUCTION 2Content-Based InstructionIntroductionOver the years there has been a constant need for learning to be integrated due to the different nature of people worldwide. With the constant interactions between different people, there is need for understanding each other. This can only be enhanced trough understanding one another despite the various languages that different people in the different parts of the world use. Over the years, countries have introduced different languages in their school's curriculum. This allows the students to learn their subjects in different languages. An example is in Canada where in the 1970s, they implemented an immersion project whereby English speaking learners could learn French by studying curricular subjects in the French language (Snow,1998).BackgroundContent-based instructions commonly known as CBI is a method used in the learning of secondary languages. This approach is used primarily as the learner blends both the language andsome form of simulating content. However, There are many different approaches to learning languages such as English for a specific purpose ( ESP)- this is the learning of a language for occupational purposes (Snow,1998). In CBI, the students/learners are focused on getting the language in a certain subject which is of interest to them such as music, or a movie. The learners are exposed to this subjects based on the language they want to learn. This method has been seen to be beneficial since it combines both the students' interests in a specific subject matter and the language being learned.

Running head : CONTENT-BASED INSTRUCTION 3The need to direct all the students' attention in one given area or profession strengthened the use of CBI. This is mainly because the student focuses on the area of specialization; this allows the student to master the language quickly because they learn it unconsciously. Accordingto Met,(1999), the most effective way of learning a new language is the acquisition of it naturallyand unconsciously.With CBI built on a principle of communicative language teaching, the teachings done here are mainly focused on those contents used in the language that are not within the bounds of the language. This means that the teaching does not entirely focus on the grammar of the language, but on the context which the language is used and applied. This makes it easily understood by the learners.With this all the tree principles of the CBI are underlined, that is the understanding of content, the use of the content in both academic and individual circumstances and improvement of interaction using the language itself.Contemporary modelsAccording to Met,(1999), there are four models used in CBI. That is theme based, sheltered model, Adjunct model, and skill-based model. Theme based modelThis is where by the language is taught by the teacher, and the syllabus is based on different themes or topics such as countries (Eskey,1992).Sheltered model
