But how can these processes best be created in the classroom?
Advocates of CBI believe that the best way to do so is by using content as the
driving force of classroom activities and to link all the different dimensions of
communicative competence, including grammatical competence, to content.
Krahnke (1987, 65) defines CBI as “the teaching of content or information in
the language being learned with little or no direct or explicit effort to teaching
the language itself separately from the content being taught.”
