A unique approach to language education.
Since 2010, The Comprehensible Classroom has been changing the way that language is taught in classrooms around the world. We believe that all students are capable of acquiring language, and it is our mission for students, teachers, and administrators to believe it too.
We focus on language acquisition, not language learning
When students encounter Comprehensible Input through what they hear and read in the classroom, then language acquisition is effortless. Even the most unmotivated learner will acquire language through exposure to comprehensible input!

Assessment for Acquisition
Elicia Cárdenas
Director of Training
Changes in instruction require changes in assessment. Teaching for communicative proficiency necessitates that we grade for communicative proficiency. Grades should communicate what students CAN DO in the target language, within the classroom context. They should be proficiency-based Performance Grades. And they should feel manageable for teachers.

Testimonials
I have learned so much from this course! I feel like I'm improving daily and I'm not kidding when I say how much more engaged my students seem with some of the small changes. They are responding so well! Students are still reaping the benefits now.
This class is by far the best I have ever taken! In my opinion this should be a required course in college and graduate courses for anyone wanting to become a language teacher.
