This paper aims to reconsider the integration of language and content. According to Content-based Instruction (CBI) and Socio-cultural theory, content should be a primary concern and language secondary in order to learn language effectively. Although this idea is also applied to teaching English through movies, integrating content and language is easier said than done in reality. An experimental class was conducted with three university students of mixed majors and various levels of English proficiency to see to what extent they relate language to content and how they notice language within the boundary of content. Five scenes from NCIS, season 12, episode 13, were chosen that contained a range of themes: the wisdom of life, a human conflict, comical features, figurative expressions about romance, and military jargon. The scene that participants most noticed language in relation to the content was the scene dealing with myth and comical features. This was because they had a certain interest and background knowledge about the topic; therefore, it was easy to make connections between the content and language. Other scenes also provide implications for teachers. As noticing does not happen by itself, teachers need to make extra effort in order for students to notice the language, in particular, when utilizing movie materials.
Abstract
This paper aims to reconsider the integration of language and content. According to Content-based Instruction (CBI) and Socio-cultural theory, content should be a primary concern and language secondary in order to learn language effectively.

An experimental class was conducted with three university students of mixed majors and various levels of English proficiency to see to what extent they relate language to content and how they notice language within the boundary of content. Five scenes from NCIS, season 12, episode 13, were chosen that contained a range of themes: the wisdom of life, a human conflict, comical features, figurative expressions about romance, and military jargon. The scene that participants most noticed language in relation to the content was the scene dealing with myth and comical features. This was because they had a certain interest and background knowledge about the topic; therefore, it was easy to make connections between the content and language.
