Kirkham, Deak2024-05-222024-05-222015"Linguistics Beyond and Within", 2015, Vol. 1, pp. 134-1512450-5188https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12153/7155This article reports on the successful implementation of a content-based instruction (CBI) approach to a 6-month pre-sessional academic English for business and management course at a UK university. While recognising that CBI is not a ‘cure-all’ and indeed that the approach brings with it particular issues, such as instructor competence in the content, the article argues CBI offers both significant and wide-ranging benefits as a language teaching approach and as such should be given greater prominence in the language teaching industry.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/language teachingcontent-based instructionacademic Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.31743/lingbaw.5628
