This paper is a curriculum proposal for students from grades 2 – 5 at the Elementary level in a bilingual-immersion school in Brasilia, Brazil, who are enrolled in the English Adaptation (EA) program. The curriculum is based on the SIOP Model, an approach to teaching language through content in strategic ways to enhance students’ development in both content and language.
