On-Demand Content

GLOBAL Y-C.R.E.D. OFFERS FLEXIBLE ON-DEMAND CONTENT 

Global C.R.E.D. is designed to provide engaging, meaningful content while supporting a variety of international time zones and varied school bell schedules. Language Learner Track sessions are timed to fit into a class period: 15 and 30 minutes in length. There are three learner tracks: LEVEL-UP to improve language skills, LEVERAGE your bilingualism, and LINK to future opportunity.

Our Educator Track includes relevant professional development content that is 30 to 60 minutes in length. Get your own PD while students engage in learning.

In addition to these On-Demand activities, students can answer reflection questions to determine their likely proficiency level using our 6 mini Self-Assessments, enter our #YCRED College Fair to learn about language programs at over 50 colleges and universities, or check out our target-language livestream broadcasts (live or archived).  

 

LEVEL-UP your language skills

The goal for the “LEVEL-UP” track is to provide students with motivation as well as specific strategies to improve one or more of their language skills in order to reach a Seal of Biliteracy goal, or to level-up from one Global Seal certificate level to another. After seeing thousands of test scores, we’ve noticed that students are often close to earning a higher-level certificate, but need some extra help to focus on just one or two weaker areas. 

LEVEL-UP content offers sessions for each of the skill areas (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing), several language-specific sessions, and great presentations with language-learning tips offered by other successful language learners. We’ve also included some “Encore” sessions from our 2020 Global C.R.E.D. event that further support your learners. These session titles are followed by an asterisk*.
