Welcome to MOSAIC |
| |
The Center for Applied
Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of Oregon is proud
to make available to second language teachers an exciting collection of
content-based curricular materials in French, Spanish and Japanese. The
MOSAIC project, carried out over the 2003-2005 academic years, produced
a variety of thematic units that incorporate Geography (in Spanish) and
History (in Japanese), with contributions by researchers and teachers at
the high school and university levels. |

Each language team was made up of one university-level content specialist
(professor), one university-level language teacher, one high-school content
specialist (social studies) and one high-school language teacher. The role
of the content specialists is to identify relevant source materials and
to ensure that the unit lessons include accurate and up-to-date content
and methods of the discipline. The language specialists are responsible
for assuring the pedagogical and linguistic quality of the materials, keeping
in mind the special challenges of learning new content in a second language. |
