Throughout Asia, increasing numbers of universities are offering subject content-courses in foreign languages. Similarly in Japan, a greater variety of subjects being taught are conducted in English, which also compliments the promotion by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology( MEXT) to attract more foreign students to Japanese tertiary institutions.  Japanese students rely upon university English programs to provide suitable courses that enable them to develop linguistic and communicative profi ciency. In addition to mainstream approaches, a variety of language learning courses have prevailed in many contexts over the years which include; occupation-based English for Specifi c Purposes (ESP), Languages for Specifi c Purposes (LSP), English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Content and Language Integrated Learning( CLIL)-the European equivalent for Content-Based Instruction( CBI). This paper aims to identify CBI as an effective language and education approach implemented for elective English courses at a Japanese sport college. Over several years of course-content modifi cations, three particular themes emerged and were selected to integrate the holistic combination of mind, body and spirit. Such themes are prevalent in the fi elds of Lifelong Learning and Education and essentially aim to; compliment the sports students’ studies and interests, support their present and future long-term health knowledge, instigate and stimulate critical thinking and improve learning motivation.}, pages = {95--101}, title = {Holistic Health Elements in a Japanese Sport University Content-based Instruction English Course}, year = {2012}, yomi = {ユゴビッチ, スティーブ} }
