Now We’re Talking Coursebook and Teacher Training Program
Blue Sage Learning offers complimentary workshops to institutions adopting the Now We’re Talking series. The workshops are designed to enable institutions to develop courses in which students move to a higher level of speaking ability by the end of the course. ACTFL standards and rating criteria are used to assess progress.
