Content-based instruction (afterwards CBI) is a pedagogical approach in which language classes are integrated with students’ content subject(s). The approach has enjoyed increasing popularity in the second and foreign language classes in North America. In Europe, the term Content Language Integrated Learning (afterwards CLIL) is widely accepted. Although the terms CBI and CLIL remain new in China, the integrated approach itself has great potential for Chinese students as EFL learners. Following a synopsis of literature review, a CBI programme at Wuhan Law College is introduced in the paper. The programme serves as a case study for the research project about the effectiveness of CBI in higher education in China. Action research characterizes my role in the programme. It is expected that the outcome of this programme can provide some useful information about researching and practising the CBI approach in China and other Asian EFL contexts.
