Access the “Owning the Curriculum” slides
Commercial language textbooks are costly and often rely on generic, outdated content disconnected from today’s students. In this webinar, the author of Salón de Clase, an intermediate Spanish textbook for educational professionals, will outline the collaborative process, key stakeholders, and guiding pedagogical principles that lead to the development of this OER. Additionally, participants will learn how curriculum ownership enabled the integration of custom tools like My Language Level (an app based on can-do statements) into instruction.
