MUZZY. A simple methodology. A proven success.
 MUZZY, developed by the BBC and expanded for schools by Early Advantage, is the most popular world language course for beginners and young learners in the world. MUZZY is successful for millions of students and teachers in 50 states and 110 countries. Its user-friendly approach makes it possible for language teachers and even classroom teachers, or volunteers to introduce a world language program.
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 progessively builds comprehension through repetition and spiraling. Language concepts and vocabulary are first introduced in simple situations, then reintroduced in more complex contexts.
