Arousing Students' Interest in EFL Context Through Content-Based Language Teaching

Abstract

This proposed paper focuses on content-based teaching to stimulate students’ interest, which plays a key role in teaching/ learning a foreign language like English. The use of available technology, the Internet, helps to access a large amount of up-to-date materials free of charge. Thus, students become more interested in language learning and would likely to perform or share their parts as language learners since more enthusiasm is created because of interesting contents of authentic texts. This paper is written based on different sources of articles depicting the background theories and role of content-based language teaching. In this respect, the teacher acts as a moderator/manager to keep the teaching/ learning process in action. Upon applying the proposed method, learning English becomes more enjoyable and meaningful. Likewise, students’ language skills are fostered and their word-powers are reinforced to a satisfactory extent.
