Each asynchronous module is comprised of several lessons and provides educators with an overview of the stated topic. All modules imbed a special focus on contemporary trends in language education, such as career-related connections, and include both opportunities to reflect and checks for understanding along the way. Also, because each lesson is mobile-friendly and designed to last for about 15 minutes, they are easy to complete on the go!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you, educators!
