Historically, the word ''content'' has changed its meaning in second language teaching. Content used to refer to the methods of [[Grammar–translation method|grammar–translation]], [[audio-lingual method]]ology and [[vocabulary]] or sound patterns in dialog form.

1.# Learners are exposed to a considerable amount of language through stimulating content. Learners explore interesting content &and are engaged in appropriate language-dependent activities. Languages are not learned through direct instruction, but rather acquired "naturally" or automatically.

2.# CBI supports contextualized learning; learners are taught useful language that is embedded within relevant discourse contexts rather than as isolated language fragments. Hence students make greater connections with the language &and what they already know.

3.# Complex information is delivered through real life context for the students to grasp well &and leads to intrinsic motivation.
