Open CL-150 Cohorts – Week 7 Posted by meaghan on Apr 28, 2020 in For Instructors, For Learners, For Program Managers
In March, we announced Open CL-150 Cohorts to help US Government language programs meet challenges presented by COVID-19.
For the next several weeks, we will release all 36 of that week’s Cohort lessons (plus special “COVID-19 News” lessons) for use by any learner, sustainer, or instructor in the US Government language community. You can find prior weeks’ lessons here:
Have you been learning or maintaining your language with Open CL-150 Cohorts the past few weeks? We’d love to hear what you think in this anonymous, 5-minute survey.
Find your Cohort Lesson from the list below or via the downloadable PDF*.
*Note: Those of you already using the CL-150 Platform for yourself or your program should ignore this. You already have access to each week’s lessons via the CL-150 Platform, and you should continue the same way.
