Content-Based Instruction (CBI) has received considerable publicity as a new paradigm in foreign language teaching practice. This study tentatively investigated the efficacy of CBI in facilitating Chinese Business English majors' acquisition of English in the tertiary institution at the fundamental stage. A comparative study was made between the control group with conventional college English teaching method and treatment group with CBI. The findings of the research revealed that the students in the treatment group were more highly motivated and more active in English to communicate. Plus, the treatment group gained higher language proficiency as compared to the control group in languages skills. It can be concluded that CBI is an effective means to improve English learners' language competence. Meanwhile, this study confirmed that CBI does not apply to lower intermediate learners.
