Student Understanding of the Philosophy of Content Based Approach in a General English Course

Content based courses would cover the essential aspects of language learning when students and teachers share the same belief about the acquisition of language. In this project, a content based program was used in teaching a general English course in a university and the effectiveness of the program was examined by questionnaires given to two groups of the students. As a result, the importance of agreement between the teacher and students by providing appropriate teaching, which was also specified, was emphasized.
