Bragger, J. D. & Rice, D. B. (1999). The message Is the medium: A new paradigm for content-oriented instruction. Foreign Language Annals, 32(3), (373-391).

The article is relevant for readers with an interest in program development and material design. The authors focus on the integration of interdisciplinary content and language instruction under the umbrella of the Connections goal of the National Standards. Bragger and Rice propose a developmental model for content-oriented instruction that moves students from familiar to unfamiliar academic and cultural content while also taking into account their language level at each stage. The article offers suggestions on how to avoid the ‘sudden jumps' in difficulty, characteristic of language and literature courses both in high school and college.
