How do we introduce context into digital language lessons? 

In this post, we cover a key component of the new edition of our Practical English course: introductions.

It's been a while since we posted here, but it doesn't mean we haven't been busy! 

“I asked my 18-year-old student why he wasn’t putting more effort into learning English. He took me to the classroom window and pointed. Outside, there was a parked Ferrari. It was his.
