Grahn for Lang is a comprehensive resource hub for world language teachers and educational leaders. The site offers a rich collection of tools, including lesson planning guides based on real-world materials, resources for immersion programs, and strategies for integrating proficiency-based instruction, scaffolding, differentiated tasks, interpretive modes, and performance assessment into curriculum design. It also addresses instructional leadership, offering content on teacher leadership, coaching skills, professional learning, and well-being support. Additionally, the site offers a variety of accessible professional development resources, such as free recorded webinars (WLPD4U), workshops, keynotes, and a blog.

In the Classroom

Use the performance assessment guidance to design a short project, such as students planning a pretend cultural exchange trip. They can use target-language reading, writing, listening, and speaking tasks to demonstrate proficiency across modes. Apply one of Grahn for Lang's differentiation ideas to an existing activity, such as offering students three task choices at different levels of challenge (e.g., matching vocabulary, writing simple sentences, or creating a dialogue). Choose a real-world resource (such as a menu, infographic, or short video) from the site's examples. Have students identify key vocabulary or phrases, then share with a partner how they could use them in real-life situations.
