This study examines the effectiveness of Content-Based Instruction (CBI) on the enhancement of English reading skills among language learners, aligning with established curriculum guidelines. Utilizing a quantitative methods approach while, quantitative insights were obtained via observation, questionnaire, and test. The participants included 30 students as a sample at MTs Mukhtarul Amin NWDI Rensing Bat in class VII B. Findings reveal that CBI significantly improves reading comprehension and engagement compared to traditional instruction methods. The integration of subject content with language learning not only adheres to curriculum standards but also fosters a more meaningful and context-rich learning environment. Implications for curriculum designers and educators suggest a strategic adoption of CBI to optimize English reading skills development.
