Teach a world language class
This recipe builds a comprehension-driven lesson in the target language, from rich input to a proficiency check.
Give students input
Start with the Micro-Telenovela Generator for a short, funny story students can understand, or the World Language Reading Passage for a culture reading. Rich, comprehensible input comes first.
Preview the language
Run the Vocab List Generator for the words students need, with correct articles and gender. Add a Cloze Reading Builder activity so they practice the words in context.
Drill the tricky parts
Target a specific challenge with a drill like Ser vs. Estar, Por vs. Para, or Preterite vs. Imperfect. Turn on Worksheet Mode for a print-ready set with an answer key.
Get them talking
Use Role-Play Scenarios and Sentence Frames so students produce language, not just recognize it.
Assess proficiency
Finish with an IPA Assessment or ACTFL Can-Do Objectives to measure what students can now do with the language.
