Content-Based Instruction: A tale with two flavors

Date: Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Description:
Content-Based Instruction (CBI) is a methodology that utilizes a theme-based curriculum rather than focusing on the traditional forms, functions, situations or skills.

Both Bobby Mamoru Takahashi and Stephen Shucart teach at Akita Kenritsu University.
