MOSAIC’s content-based lessons ensure that second language learning takes place while students encounter academic topics. Tied to national standards in second languages and social sciences, MOSAIC meets both language and content standards. Teachers can download units in French, Spanish, and Japanese directly from the MOSAIC Web site and then modify the lessons to meet curriculum needs. These thematic units include lessons in “les habitats,” (French) “desastres naturals,” (Spanish) and “manga and anime” (Japanese).

The U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant supported development of MOSAIC units.
