This paper discusses the use of the teaching unit as a means for organization in English-as-a-foreign-language classes. It lists the essential elements in the construction of such a unit: cultural topic, linguistic elements, time period, main objectives, instructional materials, focus, specific activities, intended results, evaluation techniques, and bibliographies for students and teachers. An example of a teaching-unit plan is provided, listing content material, main objectives, and introductory activities. Activities for six classes are described along with optional and concluding activities for three other classes.
