The CL-150 Program Solution

Our mission is to make a broad, sophisticated, constantly-growing suite of multi-platform, language-specialized technical capabilities and methodologies available to all. The CL-150 Platform is the core of how we do it. Transparent Language's CL-150 program is designed to engage and empower language learners, instructors, and program administrators, as well as lesson, course, and curriculum developers with features and services such as:

  • Content Authoring: Instructors and curriculum designers can author high-impact, technology-delivered courseware for one lesson, course, or an entire curriculum.
  • Reporting Capabilities: Track and comprehensively report on progress at various administrative levels for maximum visibility.
  • Mobile and Desktop Applications: Efficiently assign, access, and complete courseware on multiple devices and platforms.
  • Sharable Content: If desired, courseware can be shared with other USG, CL-150-enabled personnel and programs.
  • CL-150 Connect Instructional Services: Focused on the language requirements of U.S. military and intelligence organizations, these turn-key, blended learning programs merge high quality instruction, mentoring, and program management with CL-150 technology.
  • CL-150 Cohort Language Sustainment: Directly and continuously support an exponentially larger and globally dispersed community (including SOF, FAOs, Linguists, and Advisors) with little disruption and high visibility.

  • Focused Lessons/"Sustainment Workouts": Coaches author and deliver relevant, authentic lessons designed to engage and challenge Cohort Members' proficiency threshold.
  • Independent Study: Lessons can be completed anytime, anywhere and on almost any computer or mobile device.
  • Language Proficiency Maintenance: Short, regularly-provided lessons fight language proficiency drop-offs through consistent engagement and review.
  • Support for Entire Units: Reach and build capacity across an entire unit – including those with limited or no designated training time and access to traditional language support.
  • Ongoing Feedback: Coaches provide encouragement, feedback, and support to all cohorts.
  • Continuous Reporting: Real-time, data-driven training metrics will be reported on and available for CLPMs and training administration.
