Support beyond the classroom.
The CL-150 Platform supports the entire language learning journey—learning, assessment, sustainment, and enhancement.
Courses are optimized for virtual instruction. Students get both flexibility and the intensive practice they need to really prepare for real-world scenarios they’ll encounter on the job.
Master course materials anytime, anywhere.
Students build vocab and reading and listening skills with adaptive lessons in the CL-150 Platform. Then come to our virtual language classroom ready to put it into action.
Speak in the language, not about the language.
Class time is all about performing in the language to prepare for real-life situations. Conversations. Debates. Briefings. Role plays. Every instructor has an advanced degree and experience teaching online, so students are in expert hands. Learn more about our methodology.
Accommodate any schedule.
All courses are virtual, so students can learn from anywhere. And set the schedule—full-time, part-time, unexpected breaks for TDYs or PCSs, we’ll work around whatever the mission throws their way.
Get more visibility every step of the way with assessments, activity tracking, and automated reports. We use it to tailor instruction on the fly. You can use it to make assignments, measure ROI, and beyond.
Track student activity.
All learning activity in the CL-150 is tracked so you can monitor learning time, lesson scores, and more.
Assess student progress.
Learners can take reading and listening assessments in the CL-150 up to ILR 3. Instructors conduct formative assessments throughout the course to monitor progress and tailor instruction accordingly.
Measure ROI.
All CL-150 data and narrative feedback from instructors is available automatically via reports.
In March 2020, a government organization had to abruptly cancel all in-person language courses due to the pandemic. They did not have the tools to support remote classes, such as digital learning materials or instructors experienced in teaching virtually.
To prevent disruption, they turned to us to run their courses remotely. Courses resumed almost immediately, and we continued to successfully run 45+ acquisition courses in 8 languages from 2020-2021. Students completed assignments in the CL-150 Platform, then met with instructors in small groups in virtual classrooms. Instructors used tools like breakout rooms to make sure every student still got the personal attention they needed.
The courses were so successful that we continue to run many of their acquisition courses virtually even now that in-person instruction has resumed.
Pre-test Refresher Courses
DoD linguists are required to take the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) typically once per year. While they may sustain proficiency throughout the year, many need a final push to refresh their skills and build confidence going into the test.
A Chinese linguist requested a refresher course for a DLPT coming up in 4 weeks. Using the ILR 0-3 Chinese collection in the CL-150 Platform, we were able to launch the course only 4 days after receiving his request. His instructor worked with him to come up with a 3-week part-time schedule that accommodated his work hours.
After 80 hours of live instruction, the linguist took his DLPT and exceeded expectations:
A US Government organization needed language training for 500+ employees with a broad range of languages, proficiency levels, and goals. Employees would not be able to take time off work for training. And they were working towards different goals: passing an annual proficiency test, preparing for an assignment overseas, and so on.
All students got access to the CL-150 Platform, where they could complete self-guided lessons on demand, and access to CL-150 Connect instruction, which they could schedule directly from the CL-150 Platform.
At the end of the first year, nearly 600 students completed 5,700+ hours of independent study in the CL-150 in over 50 languages. The 140 students who opted into tutoring completed 1,700+ hours in 17 languages, working towards goals from upcoming OPIs to preparing for overseas assignments.
Student feedback was unanimously positive:
