Adomania Sample Inspection Checklist

To ensure you do not miss out on any of the wonderful features Adomania has to offer, we have drawn up a checklist to help you navigate the resources as you inspect them.
The course provides many book and digital resources over the 4 levels, and it is essential to assess the course looking at the whole course, not just the text and workbooks.
Adomania is based on task‐based methodology, L’approche actionnelle or TBLT (visit https://www.iatblt.org/).
Note: To make the most of this inspection, we recommend that you have access to a computer with a CD/DVD‐ROM drive and a good internet connection.
