Smart English through Love & Romance. Smart English through Love & Romance World’s First and Only Complete English Enhancement Program based on Content-based Instruction (CBI) What is Content-Based Instruction or Theme-based Learning? Content-based Instruction is a powerful innovation in language teaching across a wide range of instructional contexts. (Brinton, Snow, and Wesche .1989). In its best form, the language lessons are blended with stimulating content. The integration of language and content teaching is perceived by the European Commission as “an excellent way of making progress in a It first appeared on the foreign language”, this institution having contributed to developing the network Euroclic, a forum for projects and proposals in the area of language and content integrated learning. Keeping students motivated and interested are two important factors underlying content-based instruction. Motivation and interest are crucial in supporting student success with challenging, informative activities that support success and which help the student learn complex skills (Grabe & Stoller, 1997). When students are motivated and interested in the material they are learning, they make greater connections between topics, elaborations with learning material and can recall information better (Alexander, Kulikowich, & Jetton, 1994: Krapp, Hidi, & Renninger, 1992). The Evolution and Scope It first appeared on the general language teaching scene in the mid- to late 1980s, and has gained increasing popularity and wider applicability in the last ten years. This prominence can be easily perceived in the wide range of contexts, educational stages and content areas involved. With CBI, student achieves more. This in turn leads to a perception of success, of gaining positive attributes which will continue a circular learning pattern of success and interest. “When learners are motivated and interested in the material they are learning, they make greater connections between topics, elaborations with learning material and can recall information better. That is the best way to learn a second language.” - Dr. Patricia Alexander, University of Maryland Smart Communication through Management Ideas. Smart English through Cricket. Smart English through Career Success Ideas.
  5. 5. Smart English through Love & Romance World’s First and Only Complete English Enhancement Program based on Content-based Instruction (CBI) Major Benefits of Content-based Instruction Strong empirical support for CBI can be found in second language acquisition (SLA) research, in training studies and in cognitive psychology, as well as in the outcomes documented by successful programs in a variety of contexts and levels of instruction (Adamson 1993; Dupuy 2000). Grabe and Stoller (1997) perceive seven benefits of CBI as cited below: 1. Learners are exposed to a considerable amount of language while learning content. (. . .) In content-based programs, learners explore interesting content and are engaged in appropriate language-dependent activities (. . .). The resultant language learning activities,therefore, are not artificial or meaningless exercises. 2. CBI supports contextualized learning; learners are taught useful language that is embedded within relevant discourse contexts rather than as isolated language fragments. (. . .). Thus, CBI allows for explicit language instruction, integrated with content instruction, in a relevant and purposeful context. 3. (. . .) The use of coherently developed content sources allows learners to call on their own prior knowledge to learn additional language and content material. 4. (. . .) In content-based classroom, learners are exposed to complex information and are involved in demanding activities which can lead to intrinsic motivation. 5. CBI (. . .) lends itself well to strategy instruction and practice, as theme units naturally require and recycle important strategies across varying content and learning tasks. 6. CBI allows greater flexibility and adaptability to be built into the curriculum and activity Sequences. (Grabe and Stoller 1997, 19-20) “Content-based Instruction effectively increases learners' English language proficiency and teaches them the skills necessary for success in various professions. With CBI, learners gradually acquire greater control of the English language, enabling them to participate more fully in an increasingly complex academic and social environment.” “Because CBI focuses on the use of language to convey thoughts and ideas, it offers many meaningful contexts within which learners can develop grammatical competence.” - Dr. Peter Master, Professor Emeritus, Department of Linguistics, San Jose State University

  21. 21. “Out of the four language skills, ‘Speaking’ is considered as the most essential skill to be mastered. Oral language is a powerful learning tool, which Shapes, Modifies, Extends and Organizes thought. Oral language is the foundation of all language development and therefore the foundation of all learning. It is the basis for the other language strands like Listening, Reading & Writing.” - Martin Bygate (1987, Oxford) “People do not learn the pieces of the language and then put them together to make conversations. Instead, infants acquiring their first language, and people acquiring second language learn the components of the language through meaningful interaction with other people”. - (Ellis,1990; Gass,1997; And Larsen-Freeman & Long, 1991) Speaking is the basis for all learning! Speaking can be learned only through actual speaking! “The ability to speak on the spot is the most crucial skill of the 21st century, and performing under pressure is a moment of truth. In a professional setting, everybody is talented. However, ability to perform under pressure is the real talent. Whenever there is something at stake, you reveal yourself by how you speak, think and act. Some people crumble under pressure. Others thrive under pressure. And, this skill can be easily mastered.” - Hybel (2001) Speak Under Pressure, On the Spot! Expert’s Advice-1: Expert’s Advice-2: Expert’s Advice-5: “Students are fed up with meaningless communication lessons in classrooms. For instance, "A traditional classroom exchange in which one student asks “Where's the library”? and another student answers “It's on Green Street, opposite the bank”, when they can both see the answer, is not much like real communication". - (Harmer, 2001, p. 85) “The anxiety, nervous mannerisms, and unconscious glaze that come over many people when they are asked to speak are merely symptoms of a deeper and more significant state of mind. The boil can be treated physically, but something else is happening physiologically. The boil is the effect, not the cause, which runs deeper than the external symptoms. Band-aid is not the solution.” - Kenneth Wydro Content Must Motivate & Inspire No Band-Aid Solution for Speaking! Expert’s Advice-6:Expert’s Advice-4: “Reduce teaching speaking time in class while increasing student speaking time. Step back and observe students. Do not correct students’ pronunciation mistakes very often while they are speaking. (Correction should not distract student from his/her speech). Provide timely, factual, and convincing feedbacks that is actionable.” - Hayriye Kayi (2006) We Need Actionable Feedbacks! Expert’s Advice-3: SpeakEnglish Gym® SpeakEnglishGym.com Section 2. Spoken English Simulator World’s First and Only Simulator for Providing the Actual Experience of Responding to Various Questions On-the-Spot. “Knowing a language rule doesn’t mean one will be able to use it in communicative interactions.” - Brown (2000) Spoken English Simulator Page: 21
  22. 22. SpeakEnglishGym.com Didactic Learning Vs. Experiential Learning Section 2: Spoken English Simulator (Contd…) World’s First and Only Spoken English Simulator with Body-language recording feature. Page: 22 Didactic learning is also known as rote- learning. Students memorize facts, often out of context. Didactic learning has proven ineffective in creating long-term memory retention.
