Content-based instruction (CBI) challenges in Turkey: Voices of high school students

Abstract

CBI is gaining popularity all over the world and in Turkey. The findings of the current study have shown that language and content integration provide high school students with a clear and relevant learning background. When language is a key to substantive interactions, events have real intent and involve a sincere exchange of meaning. The current study is mixed-method research with the participants from high schools in Turkey. The themed learning helps students to strengthen their reading and writing skills as they can create schemes during the course and can adapt existing schemes to new learning situations.
