A number of successful Content-Based Instruction (CBI) in North American universities, in the context of postsecondary foreign language education. CBI has been integrated into the existing curriculum using a reading passage in my class. In Stoller and Grabe's (1997) Six-T's Approach, the Themes are the major source for curriculum planning. A variety of relevant Texts (all resources and materials) leads to Topic selection. Specific Tasks are designed to teach the language knowledge and content information central to the Texts. Transitions and Threads also link throughout the curriculum while creating a sense of coherence. Six-T's Approach provides students with the means for developing a coherent content-based curriculum which promotes involvement in content learning, increases opportunities for negotiation of language and content tasks, allows for cooperative learning, focuses on the development of discourse-based abilities and maintains student motivations for learning.
The same content was presented at the 13th Princeton Japanese Pedagody Forum, which was held on May 8, 2005. The paper of this Benkyokai is the same as the one included in the conference proceedings. The permission was received by Professor Makino at Princeton University.
