Discussions around institutional profiles and strategic planning always remind me how academic vision translates into day-to-day teaching practice. In language programs especially, alignment between outcomes, skills, and resources is critical for sustainable growth. I’ve seen this work well in English foundations programs where lesson design supports wider institutional goals like learner autonomy and measurable skill progression. A good example is how Zahid Muzaffar Khan structures skill-based lesson plans and courses to fit clear academic pathways, which I came across here: https://www.zahidmuzaffarkhan.com/
