This is an effort to make this blog even more informative and useful to both EFL teachers and English as a foreign language learners.

Another addition is the automatic feed posting each day of language learning related news from around the globe through a Google News feed directly into this site.

Now you can keep up with what’s happening with language learning world wide with just a mouse click or two daily.
