Abstract

Modern education should prepare the students to better adapt to the demands of daily life. The curriculum should be one that helps the students meet today's demands. This project aims at designing an English thematic unit for Grade 7 that covers the students' needs, learning style and process. The project discusses the steps and procedures that an author has to follow to develop a well-integrated lesson that will motivate the students and engage them in the learning process. Then it provides a kit which follows the Content-Based Approach to learning. The kit consists of the English unit Animals and their Habitats and its accompanying workbook activities. The unit is designed to make learning English as a Second Language for students more interesting, constructive and long lasting.
