We’re excited to partner with you! The Comprehensible Classroom equips language teachers with training and resources that are proven to foster language acquisition. We believe that all students are capable of acquiring language. The Comprehensible Classroom makes teaching easier by helping language teachers unlock students’ intrinsic capacity for language acquisition. We specialize in providing you with everything you need to help every student experience success with language learning. Our proficiency-oriented instructional materials for Spanish, French, and Latin classes give you a detailed plan for class so that you can focus on what matters most: your students.
Registration is still open for the first round of training and there will be another round of the training in June. Through our partnership, The Comprehensible Classroom is offering you a $50 discount to their online coursework. In addition to this opportunity, they will also be offering a workshop during the FLAVA Fall Conference 2025. Stay tuned for more information on the in-person workshop.

We are a growing, dynamic organization of professionals in education and business, students, and all those who have a common interest in promoting and utilizing world languages to accomplish their various goals.
We advocate for world language education on behalf of members at the local, state, and federal levels. We promote online opportunities to educate the public about the benefits and issues related to language learning.
For almost a decade, FLAVA has offered interactive, online workshops through the auspices of the Washington & Lee University’s Global Discovery Laboratories, webcast throughout the region as part of our mission for professional growth.
Our fall conference serves as a primary means of fulfilling our mission in gathering the community around the association’s business, and our spring conference provides an opportunity to recharge and learn the latest theories and practices in language learning.
