Garbanzo addresses ACTFL’s World Readiness Standards, enacts ACTFL’s Guiding Principles, and works toward building proficiency in alignment with ACTFL’s Proficiency Guidelines in a digital environment.
Although Garbanzo was strategically designed to align with research in the area of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and not research in the area of Literacy Development, popularly known as the Science of Reading, Garbanzo lessons are aligned with the Science of Reading in several important ways.
Garbanzo is excited to introduce a new feature: downloadable word clouds for every lesson! No matter what your curriculum looks like, Garbanzo’s new word clouds can provide a dynamic way to support language acquisition.
