Content-based instruction (CBI) has grown in popularity for over 20 years and is increasing in EFL environments. The four presenters have coordinated content-based instruction (CBI) programs at universities in Japan and taken turns coordinating one program for a fifteen-year span at Nanzan University from 1992-2007.
