Blended learning, better outcomes

CL-150 Connect programs blend technology and human instruction to support career-long language capability, from acquisition to enhancement.

Training efficiency: Learners alternate between tech-delivered lessons and live skills development with an instructor. Pre-class work prepares learners for higher-value face time, tightly aligned to the curriculum and desired outcomes. (Learn more about our blended learning methodology).
Logistical flexibility: Complete independent learning on any computer, tablet, or phone and meet with your instructor in a virtual classroom—with no time or place restrictions. Full-time or part-time, in-place or at school, your curriculum or our materials.
Program visibility: Instructors can track and report on lesson completion, time on task, assessment scores, and more to quickly identify learners in need of more support. Administrators gain the same visibility during and after courses, ensuring career-long sustainment.

Tightly-Aligned Pre-Class Learning

Learners master key vocabulary before class using the CL-150.

Higher-Value Class Time

Class time applies that key vocabulary in intensely skills-focused activities with the instructor and peers.

Underpinned by DABL Methodology

We call this flipped classroom approach Declaratively Accelerated Blended Learning (DABL). Learners build declarative knowledge before class using the CL-150 Platform, and instructors can track completion. Class time is then freed up for contextual, communicative activities.

Find the best fit for your language goals—and your busy schedule.

CL-150 Connect programs support any language need or curricula: full-time or part-time; on the job or at school; acquisition, sustainment, or enhancement.
