Questão 96754

While Content-Based Instruction is lauded for its potential to increase motivation and provide a meaningful context for language acquisition, several criticisms and potential pitfalls have been identified, particularly in foreign language (EFL) settings. Analyze the following statements regarding the challenges of CBI:

I. A primary concern is the potential for 'teacher burnout', as CBI demands instructors to be proficient not only in language pedagogy but also in a specific content area, a dual expertise that is uncommon.

II. In theme-based models, there is a risk of content becoming a series of disconnected, superficial topics, which fails to provide the cognitive depth necessary for sustained language development and may hinder the systematic recycling of linguistic structures.

III. A frequent criticism is that an exclusive focus on comprehensible input and content mastery may lead to an overemphasis on formal accuracy, neglecting communicative fluency and risk-taking.

Which statement(s) accurately describe(s) the potential challenges associated with CBI?
