What people have to say
Katherine Quigley
…[F]or teachers who wish to upskill, Language Fuel have created a resource library which is engaging, practical, up to date and easily accessible from the comfort of home – perfect for the current state of the world.
Dorothy Thwaite
This training is the best PD that I know of for busy teachers!
ELP’s many teachers work, often part time, all around NZ and we’re all short of time. More have accessed Language Fuel PD this year than any other single PD course or site.
The mini-courses are achievable in one short “sitting”; the presentation style engages teachers. The practical topics align well with our centre and national PD events.
Clare McGrath
Headlined by the legendary Jill Hadfield, the contributors are very experienced teachers, authors and presenters. The majority of the current 16 are women; all have an impressive diversity of linguistic and cultural origins and experience round the globe.

Although I have been teaching for 30 years, I still highly recommend this [site].
Looking forward to doing other courses!

…[W]ell designed and easy to navigate. Courses are clearly described and have attractive visuals…the courses help develop an understanding of basic guidelines as well as of students. They also supply a number of immediately useful materials, and they build confidence.

This has been a brilliant opportunity to engage in professional development at my own pace and being able to choose the topics that interest me. Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate.
Annemarie Kiely
I couldn't recommend Language Fuel enough! There is such a wide range of courses available to suit everyone's needs - even teachers who had been teaching for a long time could find courses to develop their existing skills. The platform is really easy to use, and the courses are excellently designed. It was great to see teachers discussing the different courses they had done and sharing their knowledge/ ideas in the staffroom afterwards.
Let's meet!
We're exhibiting at the following conferences in 2023. We'd love to meet with you there!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can individual teachers purchase access?
We have found that teachers get the most out of Language Fuel when supported by their Directors of Studies or other managers. For that reason, we invite you to talk with your manager about purchasing on your behalf. If you wish to learn from Language Fuel as an individual, we invite you to access our courses on Future Learn. (www.futurelearn.com)
-
Why are the courses just 20 minutes long?
Our first customers told us that anything longer than 20 minutes was too hard to finish in one sitting. So we determined to make all of our courses an average of 20-minutes long. This is why many courses are part of a series. There is always more to learn about a topic than what one 20-minute course can tell you.
-
Can I get my whole staff on board?
Absolutely. Language Fuel works best when colleauges are sharing what they are learning with one another. Contact us or your local reseller to purchase access for the whole team.
-
