Languages Today is our termly magazine, designed specifically for language teachers. It is free to members of the Association for Language Learning.
It contains news from the language teaching world; ideas to help with your teaching; reviews of teaching resources; and information about schemes and projects which may be of interest to you. We follow a day in the life of language teachers, trainers and people who use languages in their job, and we find out about how language skills are used in the workplace.
