{"pk":36670,"title":"Models for Content Based Curricula for ESL","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper defines and illustrates content-based language teaching in the ESL context. Some good programs are cited as examples, and the reader is given an introduction to the theoretical and practical motivations of content-based ESL, along with some notion of who the principle innovators are. Three content-based models (theme-based, adjunct, and sheltered) are presented in some detail. Since content-based ESL fits so well with current principles of communicative second language teaching, the author argues that content-based ESL, tempered with judicious use of humanistically motivated experiential activities, will be the major approach to formal ESL instruction at all levels in the near future.","language":"eng","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Theme Section - Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/62z073mp","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Marianne","middle_name":"","last_name":"Celce-Murcia","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1989-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/catesoljournal/article/36670/galley/27520/download/"}]}
