About

At Languages on a Plate we have two primary focuses:

• Provide teachers with outstanding lessons and lesson plans;

• Provide independent learners with a more academic focus than most online language learning services.

Born in darkness:

​

Languages on a Plate was born following the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote/hybrid learning that took place. We noticed that more so than ever (as if that was possible), teachers were stretched by being tasked with a million new responsibilities.

​

We had previously worked with supplying online resources to teachers, but in the pandemic, it became even more apparent that teachers needed time-savers in order to their job to the best of their ability. So, we went about creating lessons with a multitude of scaffolded activities so that the teachers that used our resources had less planning to do, and they could therefore focus on their specific pupils' needs.

​

Our lessons were met with really positive responses, so we decided to take it a step further and create this website so that we could help teachers help themselves.

​

We know that teachers are "time poor" (regardless of what certain parts of society would have you believe), so we offer our service at a very reasonable price. Our lessons might not be perfect for your classes' needs, but they should at least give you ideas and a baseline for content and activities to cover.

​

I'm a strong independent learner who don't need no class:

​

Fed up of rubbish apps that just test vocab memory?

​

Yup, we've been there too! That's why we have also created content for independent learners to work through. 

​

We also know how expensive in-person (and online) language courses can be, but we really believe in their value added to your language learning experience. 

​

That's why we've tried to create a reasonably cheap online learning experience that allows you to have the autonomy to work through content at your pace, but also have a basic level of human guidance instead of a mixture of AI algorithms.

Our credentials:

​

Although I've spent the whole page talking in the first person plural form, Languages on a Plate is currently a one-man-band business. That said, I do outsource to native speakers for proof-reading, writing articles and creating audio files.
