There is a huge importance to include the 4Cs in the language learning classes since English is a lingua franca, an inclusive language for global understanding. language learning seeks for communicative goals , but we should also make our students evaluate their own learning; why am I doing this?

“Playtime” is not usually a term we find in high school classrooms, but for Kayla Scheer, the power of play takes on a big role in her teaching. From her personal experiences in tinkering with technology, Kayla feels passionately about the impact it has in her classrooms. Kayla Scheer has wanted to be an educator since fourth grade.
