How do I get started?
Step 1: Register
First of all you have to register. You can register by clicking on the registration link in the top left corner of this page. We check all applicants to ensure that eLanguages members are teachers. We don't allow non-approved teachers to add any resources to the eLanguages system. Once approved, members can login with their account name and password combination.
Step 2: Find a partner
Look for a partner as soon as your registration has been approved. The find partnership page is a good starting point. Alternatively you can join an existing eLanguages project. Look for projects with a "Join" link. The third option is to propose your own project and wait for others to join your project.
Step 3: Build your project
On your project page you will find a detailed help system explaining how to add your content and how to communicate with your partners. We encourage you to keep your projects simple. Don't make life too complicated - simply exchanging lesson materials or students' work adds tremendous value to your lessons and will positively stimulate your students to participate and contribute.
What happens when your project is finished?
When you've completed all the project stages you have set for yourselves, you can close your project and submit a final evaluation. We recommend that you keep your project a manageable length at say six weeks or two months. Better to do three tight, targeted, small projects than a single large sprawling one.
Once your project has been completed it will be reviewed by an expert teacher. Outstanding projects will be highlighted on the site.
There are plenty of further steps you can take on completion of your project:
- Find out how to extend your partnership
- Find other places to showcase your work
- Find out how to gain recognition for your international work
- And, of course, begin another eLanguages project!
We hope you and your students enjoy your eLanguage projects. Don't forget, we are here to help you so if you have any questions or comments do contact us.
