Listen "Ep157. Backward Design for Language Courses"
Episode Synopsis
What if the best way to plan a language course is to start at the end? In this episode, we explore backward design — a powerful approach that begins with desired outcomes and builds every lesson, task, and assessment around them. Learn how to align teaching goals with real-world performance, create authentic assessments, and design with purpose. Whether you’re crafting a new syllabus or rethinking your classroom practice, this episode will help you plan backward to move learners forward.Loved this episode?Follow The Languages Pedagogy Podcast for more honest, powerful conversations at the intersection of language, education, and humanity.Share it with a fellow educator, leave a review, or tag us on social media — your voice helps elevate ours.Together, we’re not just teaching — we’re transforming.#LanguageTeaching #CurriculumDesign #BackwardDesign #LanguageEducation #PedagogyPodcast #TeacherVoices #GlobalLearning #EducationRevolution
