Vol. 4 Issue 7 – Research Paper: ‘Web based Content-Based Writing’ Müfit Şenel

Language is context-sensitive, that is to say, an utterance becomes fully intelligible only when it is placed in its context. Therefore, the importance of meaningful context in language teaching becomes indispensible. Content-based Instruction is one of the approaches that emphasize this view since Content based Instruction (CBI) is a teaching method that emphasizes “learning about something” rather than “learning about language”. CBI emerges from the principles and moves beyond the communicative approach by creating a learning environment in which “…language is not a subject in its own right, but merely a vehicle for communicating about something else” (Nunan 1993).
