When Lessons are Purposeful, Meaningful & Inspiring, they Touch our Hearts!
However, there are other revolutionary benefits you can expect from CBI, when it is combined with modern technologies.
Content-based Instruction is a powerful innovation in language teaching across a wide range of instructional contexts. (Brinton, Snow, and Wesche .1989). In its best form, the language lessons are blended with stimulating content.
Keeping students motivated and interested are two important factors underlying content-based instruction. Motivation and interest are crucial in supporting student success with challenging, informative activities that support success and which help the student learn complex skills (Grabe & Stoller, 1997).
When students are motivated and interested in the material they are learning, they make greater connections between topics, elaborations with learning material and can recall information better (Alexander, Kulikowich, & Jetton, 1994: Krapp, Hidi, & Renninger, 1992).
With CBI, student achieves more. This in turn leads to a perception of success, of gaining positive attributes which will continue a circular learning pattern of success and interest.
Meaningful, Not Artificial Learning: Learners are exposed to a considerable amount of language while learning content. (. . .) In content-based programs, learners explore interesting content and are engaged in appropriate language-dependent activities (. . .). The resultant language learning activities, therefore, are not artificial or meaningless exercises.
Ready-to Use Language: CBI supports contextualized learning; learners are taught useful language that is embedded within relevant discourse contexts rather than as isolated language fragments. (. . .). Thus, CBI allows for explicit language instruction, integrated with content instruction, in a relevant and purposeful context.
Builds Excellent Articulation Skills in Professions: (. . .) The use of coherently developed content sources allows learners to call on their own prior knowledge to learn additional language and content material.
Self Motivating: (. . .) In content-based classroom, learners are exposed to complex information and are involved in demanding activities which can lead to intrinsic motivation.
Easy Knowledge Assimilation: CBI (. . .) lends itself well to strategy instruction and practice, as theme units naturally require and recycle important strategies across varying content and learning tasks.
Flexibility in Learning: CBI allows greater flexibility and adaptability to be built into the curriculum and activity sequences.
Customization: “One size fits all methodology” doesn't work with with English education. Everyone has his/her own needs and wants. The program must meet these personal level requirements. Espoir innovation customizes your lessons. (Please visit customization.)
Mirror-like Body-language Recording: All learning programs contradict. Even though 80 to 85% of communication happens non-verbally, most communication programs focus only on the verbal portion. Visit Mirror-like Body-language Recording section to see how Espoir programs combine verbal & non-verbal portions for your benefit!
American-British Pronunciation: Living, working and earning in a Global Village call for you to understand and converse in UK and US accents. Espoir integrates them in the programs!
Spoken English Simulation: You are judged by the way you speak, as it clearly demonstrates your thinking abilities. Speaking appropriately is one of the higher-level cognitive skills. Visit Spoken English Simulator page for more details.
Interactive Tests: CBI allows greater flexibility and adaptability to be built into the curriculum and activity sequences.
