Abstract	A step-by-step examination is made of organized language instruction in which all language teaching activities relate to a theme chosen from the science, social studies, or math curriculum. The first step is to choose a topic of interest. The second step is to find out what is already known about the topic, decide what extra is needed to be learned, and gather materials. Step three involves developing and organizing activities, and the final step involves identifying objectives. The suggestion is made that a content-based thematic unit is an effective method for teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). A description of various kinds of units is provided as well as guidelines for planning units (pre-planned or jointly-planned). A resource list that gives additional information and insight into this subject is included, followed by a description of a completed content- based teaching unit that was designed for elementary school ESL students.
