Abstract

Abstract This study focuses on the concept of content-based instruction (hereafter CBI), presents the design of a teaching plan for Japanese university students and provides some implications for both research and pedagogy. Japan is currently working hard to strengthen the international competitiveness of higher education, and the demand for teaching courses in a foreign language especially in English is increasing. CBI encourages students to learn both a foreign language and subject contents successfully, and it is one of the most effective methods for learning English as a foreign language (hereafter EFL). We conclude that with careful planning and sufficient preparation, CBI is feasible for many universities in Japan.
