Ready to TELL

Ready-to-go Class Activities for Technology Enhanced Language Learning

If you are also excited about this project, please join us!

Language teachers at all educational levels and institutions around the world are welcome to contribute to Ready to TELL. You can choose to publish with us in any of the four collections. Click on the Collection tab to view the submission method below.

Every year, we publish excellent TELL activities to showcase language teachers innovative practices. These TELL activities can be as small as a 5-minute warmer or as big as a semester-long class project; they can be creative ways to use “old-fashioned” technology like PPT, or your pioneer exploration with state-of-the-art technology like VR/AR. These activities will be presented in a way that teachers can just grab and use without too much tweaking.

To submit, use the template below to document your activity and send to ReadytoTELL@xjtlu.edu.cn, subject: Activity submission_[activity name].
