Content-Integrated Instruction
Edit

Content-integrated instruction refers to an educational approach in which language learning is organized through the study of academic or subject-matter content, with linguistic development and content knowledge constructed as interconnected components of instruction [1]. The concept involves the deliberate integration of language objectives with disciplinary knowledge objectives, requiring instructional planning that addresses both the acquisition of a target language and the understanding of non-linguistic subject content [1][2]. Unlike language instruction that treats linguistic forms as the primary focus of learning, content-integrated instruction positions meaningful content as a central medium through which language development occurs [2]. The approach is distinguished from general content teaching by its explicit attention to language learning goals alongside subject-area learning goals.
