This course was very well put togther. The videos were clear and interesting. The methodolgy for teaching vocabualry was useful. Best of all, I was introduced to a new website to use for analyzing the level of text and vocabulary. Suggestion: Expand on some software/websites that can help with drilling and vocabulary practice (For example show how quizlet can be used in class, or other tech can be used in class to help with vocab teaching/review)
