Making Complex Content Accessible: Sustainable Development for Beginner Learners

In this interactive webinar, participants learn how to (re)design beginner language courses and tasks in which literacy development progresses alongside rich, meaningful, and compelling content. Grounded in content-based instruction (CBI) and informed by the multiliteracies pedagogical framework, the session positions sustainability as an organizing thread for unit and task planning, thereby connecting novice learners to social, cultural, and environmental questions in Spanish-speaking communities at local, national, and global levels.
