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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can individual teachers purchase access?
No. Language Fuel courses are only hosted by other organisations (associations, publishers, ministries of education) for the teachers they support. As an individual teacher, you can access a handful of our courses on Future Learn. (www.futurelearn.com). As a language school, your institution can access the Language Fuel collection by subscribing to EC by Go1 (www.ec.inc).
-
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.
-
How do you ensure quality of your courses?
We make sure all of our authors are well experienced and qualified. (Check them out on our 'Authors' page!). We also have a rigorous editing process, to make sure the content is in-line with the current ELT industry standards.
-
Can you add more courses?
Absolutely. We have several courses in the pipeline, but we're always keen to hear from you directly about which courses your teachers need.
-
We have an LMS for our chain of language schools. Can we load your courses on there?
Yes! We use remote SCORM technology to deliver our SCORM packages onto your SCORM-compliant LMS. Get in touch to discuss this option.
-
Can you help us get an LMS for our school/association?
Yes! The team behind Language Fuel (Pukeko Learning Solutions) is very happy to work with you to meet your needs. We can create a custom site, with your branding. There are many benefits of this for your organisation. Contact us to request a quote.
