CBI CONTENT BASED INSTRUCTION AS INNOVATIVE TEACHING ENGLISH FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

A CBI (Content-Based Instruction) lesson centres around a specific topic or subject matter. Throughout the lesson, students concentrate on learning about a particular subject of interest, whether it be a serious science topic, their favourite pop star, a current news story, or a film. This research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach. It involves formulating a problem that directs the researcher to thoroughly, broadly, and deeply explore or capture the social situation under study. Content based instruction made some advantages for students. Learning a language can become more engaging and motivating. Students used the language to achieve a genuine purpose, which can increase their independence and confidence. Through CBI, students gained a broader understanding of the world, which can, in turn, enhance and support their overall educational needs. Incorporating group work into the aforementioned framework helped students develop their collaborative skills, providing significant social benefits.
