The Vocabulary module has arrived, and needs you to proofread it.
Please email: [email protected] and we'll send a module for you to check.
Your help in improving the course for other teachers is really appreciated.
After all proofreaders have added their comments, and refined it, this module will be made available on our free ALT training course.
This website has two primary purposes:
1. To provide open access, high quality teacher training to ALTs.
2. To connect ALTs.

Still figuring out the difference between ESL and EFL? Lost in the acronyms: ICC, ELT and CLIL? Thought Charlie Brown was just a character? Then read on...

Each module has been written with the varied levels of backgrounds and future goals of ALTs' in mind: content is clearly introduced and gets more technical as it goes on. References have been carefully selected to suit all abilities and interests too. Complete modules in order for best results. But you're welcome to complete all modules as your interest evolves.
- Want to know more about your students, co-workers, where you teach and be more effective? Contextual modules are for you.
- Want practical teaching tips? The 'Teaching' modules have got you covered.
- Looking to build your resume, and/or pursue a career in ELT, get published? Then go to the PD modules.
Whilst you complete modules, share your experience and knowledge with all ALTs' in the Reflection Questions. For further discussion of the topics covered, or anything 'ALT' use the Facebook group.
