Content-Based Instruction (CBI) is considered to be
one of the most prominent teaching approaches in the
field of foreign language education. The proponents
of CBI claim that CBI integrates the learning of
content and language, allowing students to use the
language as a vehicle for acquiring the content of
the lecture. It is also argued that CBI fosters
students critical thinking and autonomous learning
skills, while developing their motivation. Despite
these claims that appear in a number of articles and
books, very few reports are supported by substantial
qualitative or quantitative data. Furthermore,
empirical study of CBI in Fundamental or Intermediate
level Asian language courses is lacking. The current
study explored foreign language instruction with
regard to the aforementioned claims about CBI. The
research questions were whether CBI fosters students
critical thinking skills, autonomous learning skills,
and learning motivation more than a hybrid-CBI or
traditional teaching approach. Qualitative data were
collected through surveys, and a written and oral
assessment. Quantitative data were collected through
interviews and class observations.
