The work involved in teaching with community based learning can be both quantitatively and qualitatively different than classroom-based teaching. While good CBL planning models do exist to help educators navigate those differences, they must be adapted to the specificities of teaching in a second language and working with language communities other than English. To illustrate those differences, Ann will present the work flow in the design and implementation of the "Spanish for Business" course she taught during Fall 2013. We will analyze the larger issues involved in this kind of work and discuss guiding documents (checklists, timelines, etc.).
