What problem does it solve?

This skill enables university-level Spanish educators to design coherent courses using backward design, align learning outcomes with ACTFL proficiency guidelines, and develop authentic assessments and flipped classroom activities that improve student outcomes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Backward design alignment: define outcomes, assessments, and activities that build toward proficiency targets.
• Authentic assessment design: create performance tasks mapped to interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational can-do statements.
• Flipped classroom planning: design pre-class materials and in-class activities that maximize interaction and language use.
• Culturally authentic materials: curate resources from diverse Spanish-speaking communities to support communicative competence.
• Differentiation: scaffold for multiple proficiency levels and learner needs in the same course.

Quick Start
