You’re planning tomorrow’s lesson. A reading here, a speaking task there, and a quick quiz at the end. But it all feels disconnected—and you’re not sure if it’s really helping students grow.
When input, tasks, and assessments aren’t clearly aligned, students end up practicing skills that don’t match what they’re being asked to demonstrate. The result? Missed opportunities for language growth..and frustrated learners.
This 30-minute PD course for the small price of $10 will help you plan intentionally from the first exposure to the final assessment. You’ll learn how to:
- Use backward design to plan with real-world communication goals in mind
- Choose input that supports your target proficiency outcomes
- Create communicative tasks that bridge input and assessment
- Design assessments that reflect exactly what students practiced
This is a clear, no-fluff course led by me, Joshua Cabral, host of the World Language Classroom Podcast. I will help you streamline your planning while staying focused on what matters most: helping students communicate with confidence and purpose.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a simple, repeatable planning framework to ensure every activity, from the first reading to the final speaking task, s working together to build proficiency. Your lessons will feel more cohesive, and your students’ growth will be more intentional and visible.
