Abstract


Since the CBI(Content Based Instruction) was founded in the west in the 1980s, the focus on it has been increasing, especially in America and Canada, and it has been proved to be effective to the immersed learning method in which English is taken as a second language. As JingShenghua said:“they have in one way or another solved many specific problems which teachers themselves have faced in practice. However, there is no single acceptable way to go about teaching languages today”. It includes components of CBI teaching method and the five teaching approaches based on CBI teaching concept. CBI is a teaching concept rather than a teaching method and it doesn’t have only one approach (Stryker &Leaver,1997) At abroad, the advocators of CBI have developed many CBI programmes and provided many concrete operational approaches under the framework of CBI.
