lso be at once a philosophical orientation, a methodological system, a syllabus design for a single  course,  or  a  framework  for  an  entire  program  of  instruction,  and  totally  integrates language  learning  with  content  learning”.  Richards  &  Rodgers  (2008)  have  explained  that “CBI  refers  to  an  approach  to  second  language  teaching  in  which  teaching  is  organized around the content or information that students will acquire, rather than around a linguistic or other type of syllabus.”

2.2 Theme-based Model of CBI
The  theme-based  model  is  the  most  widespread  model  of  CBI.  It  suits  students  at  the university level, the secondary level and the elementary level. Four main characteristics of it is elaborated in the following, as well as the rationales behind it.The  theme-based  model  distinguishes  from  the  traditional  model  in  many  aspects.  To generalize  the  typical  features,  many  specialists  have  exerted  efforts  to  study  on  effective theme-based  model  instructions.  Crandall  &  Tucker  (1990)  have  listed  eight  features involving  multiple  objectives,  authentic  materials,  media  techniques  and  other  perspectives. Stryker  &  Leaver  (1997)  have  summarized  three  characteristics.  The  first  is  that  the  content instead  of  the  language  forms  and  functions  becomes  the  center  of  a  class.  The  second  is providing  authentic  language  materials  and  tasks.  The  last  is  meeting  the  needs  of  students. Richard  &  Rodgers  (2008)  also  have  explained  their  understanding  that  the  theme-based model  of  CBI  leads  to  more  effective  language  learning  and  it  better  reflects  ESL  students’ needs and interests.
