Abstract	This study investigated the effectiveness of the Content-based instruction (CBI) method over the conventional method in learning Optional 1 English among College of Education students in the Salem District of the Tamil Nadu state in southern India. A randomized pretest, post-test, control group and experimental group design were employed. Students from the university formed both the control and experimental groups. Each group consisted of 30 learners. The t-test analysis revealed that for teaching English to these students who are non-native English speakers, CBI was more effective than the conventional method and the CBI students developed their language skills as well as gaining access to new concepts through meaningful content.
