A Blog for Language Teachers

This blog is intended for teachers of foreign languages and language school managers. We provide observations and insights into practical issues in language teaching and approaches that work with language students. We advocate a critical and communicative approach to ELT and blended language learning.

Lesson & Activity Management, Planning & Access

We also try to point out advantages to using technology in teaching and LAMPA (Lesson & Activity Management, Planning & Access) in particular. The LAMPA system allows language teachers, schools and students to make use of time-saving tools for lesson planning, vocabulary tracking, course tracking, scheduling and reporting lessons. It is also an activity resource and sharing tool for language teachers.
