Language Educators: Paid Resource Evaluation Methodology Guide

What We're Researching

We're running a paid study on the evaluation frameworks used to select language-learning materials. Selecting the right curriculum is critical for beginner language acquisition, and we want to document best practices from active professionals. This research feeds into a broader effort to optimize how study materials are paired with new learners.

How It Works

You will complete a bundled two-part task consisting of both written and video components. First, you will draft a comprehensive written methodology guide of approximately 4,000 words detailing your evaluation criteria. Next, you will capture a 30-45 minute narrated screen recording demonstrating an end-to-end recommendation workflow for a beginner Spanish learner. The entire task is completed asynchronously from your own desktop.

Who This Is For

This opportunity is designed for experienced language educators, curriculum developers, and professional tutors. We welcome Spanish teachers, linguistics researchers, ESL instructors, and academic language coaches. You should have deep familiarity with assessing pedagogical materials and explaining your selection process to others.
