@article{oai:muroran-it.repo.nii.ac.jp:00005384, author = {GAYNOR, Brian and ゲイナー, ブライアン}, journal = {北海道言語文化研究}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, This paper examines the factors necessary for the successful implementation of a Content-Based Instruction (CBI) curriculum in MuroranIT. It outlines the shortcomings of current approaches in the university where CBI has erroneously been regarded as merely the English translation of an established academic course taught through Japanese. As this short essay will argue, effective CBI requires much more than this and raises the fundamental question of whether MuroranIT is currently capable of offering CBI courses. In answering this question I will divide my essay into five parts: a theoretical explanation of what CBI is (and isn’t); the importance of needs analysis; materials development; issues with assessment; and faculty support. I will conclude with some observations on current English education in the university and propose some tentative ideas on how to better implement our nascent CBI curriculum.}, pages = {157--167}, title = {Content-Based Instruction in Muroran Institute of Technology: A Critical Evaluation}, volume = {11}, year = {2013} }
