Content-Based-Instruction for Language Proficiency.

      Аннотация: Today, with the aim of empowering students to succeed in higher education and in international scientific communities, language teaching is an important task in educational institutions. Recently, Content-Based-Instruction (CBI) in private or semi-private schools has been used to teach foreign languages. The researches results showed that students improved their English language proficiency after completing a content-based course. But, because of the numerous effective factors - such as students' supplementary and extracurricular tutorials- this result does not imply the useful effect of this method of training. Furthermore, facilities and methods on how to implement this approach will require continuous evaluation and educational updating, provision of appropriate training materials, facilities, planning, and support. Otherwise, in the absence of the necessary conditions, this method can be the most difficult one in language teaching.
