Аннотация

Content-based learning has gained broad prominence in the teaching of second and foreign languages. Despite its recorded benefits, many English teachers do not completely leverage its benefits for language learning that in the sense of the material the language being studied and used is taught. In this article, an approach to language teaching based on content and how it can be used to develop a multilingual personality are discussed. This article aims to connect theory to experience, help teachers to identify what can be considered as a content and how CBI can be used in teaching process. Furthermore, it is going to discuss whether content-based approach can be one of the first steps of multilingual education. Finally, we are presenting a real-world project tailored for intermediate EFL students. The design and suggested activities might be easily transferable to other settings.
