Voices for the Planet: A Scaffolded End-to-End Curriculum Exemplar and Stage-by-Stage Planner for EFL/CLIL Podcasting (CEFR B1)

About the Voices for the Planet Package Voices for our Planet is a turnkey, highly scaffolded end-to-end curriculum exemplar designed by university researchers for pre-service and in-service teacher training, as well as secondary classrooms operating within the CEFR B1 proficiency band. Operationalized through the SPECIAL Framework (Gil & Puente-Gil, 2026), this project models how abstract curricular targets—such as the Action-Oriented Approach, environmental mediation, and social agency—can be seamlessly translated into concrete classroom realities without triggering cognitive overload in intermediate language learners. How to Use This Digital Ecosystem This repository is packaged as a fully integrated instructional kit.
