English Language Lab Asturias
English Language Lab Asturias or ELLA for short is a project I’m working in with another two English teachers: María Valdés (Reviews, Debates and Resources) and Javier Menéndez (Javier’s English Corner).
The idea behind this project was to provide the courses in the programme: English lessons for young people aged 18-30, with suplementary online materials, but we think, or we hope the materials we are producing can be useful for everyone interested in learning English.
The project is still young: we’ve only been working on it for about four months, but we think it is time to bring it out and let your suggestions, comments and why not, your criticisms, help us improve our future work. We are looking forward to hearing your opinions and we sincerely hope you’ll find it useful!
