Abstract

The role of study investigates the effectiveness of Content-Based Instruction in enhancing students’ communicative competence in secondary school English classes. CBI integrates language learning with subject matter content, creating a contextualized learning environment that promotes both linguistic and cognitive development. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing quantitative assessments and qualitative interviews to evaluate student performance and perceptions. Findings indicate that students exposed to CBI demonstrate significant improvements in their communicative skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing, compared to those in traditional instruction settings. Moreover, CBI fosters greater engagement and motivation among students, as they find relevance in the material being studied. The study also highlights the role of teacher training and curriculum design in effectively implementing CBI strategies. Overall, the results underscore the potential of CBI as an effective pedagogical approach to enhance communicative competence in secondary education.
