This institute has been specifically designed for K-16 foreign language teachers who want to familiarize themselves with and implement Content-Based Instruction (CBI) in the second language classroom. During this institute, teachers will learn how to create CBI materials and tasks to enhance students’ language proficiency and content learning. Participants will also learn how to expand their own existing curricula by weaving in varied academic/cultural content, navigating and utilizing the Content Based Language Teaching with Technology
(CoBaLTT) online resources, and planning appropriate assessments for CBI.
