MUZZY provides a versatile core curriculum or powerful enrichment material for beginning to early intermediate level learners in world language and ELL curriculum. MUZZY lessons can be used consecutively for any schedule, frequency and class period length. Plus, once the engaging MUZZY story line is presented, MUZZY's topical lessons can also be taught out of order for thematic content integration.

Learning through Immersion

MUZZY is designed in accordance with U.S. national foreign language standards and emphasizes oral participation before reading and writing. Its presentation as a story promotes curiosity, develops listening skills and builds a solid understanding of functional language.

MUZZY works powerfully with different levels and learning styles – even within the same classroom. Content is presented exclusively in the target language. MUZZY progressively builds comprehension through repetition and spiraling. Language concepts and vocabulary are first introduced in simple situations, then reintroduced in more complex contexts.
