Hello and welcome to the official global blog for Oxford University Press – English Language Teaching.
This blog is intended for teachers, trainers, lecturers, authors and anyone else with an interest in keeping up with what’s happening in the world of ELT and what we’re up to.
We’ll bring you resources you can use in your classrooms, hints and tips for teaching, insights into the lives of publishers and authors, and hopefully a few surprises you won’t find on any other publisher blogs!

Don’t be shy – we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment and let us know what you think of the blog. If you’ve got ideas for what you’d like to see, or you’d like to be a guest blogger for us, you can always contact us by leaving a comment or dropping us an email at elt.marketing.uk@oup.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Please note, we don’t accept guest posts from writing agencies, freelance marketers or PR professionals. If you’re an ELT professional and you’d like to have your voice heard, then get in touch.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Some great names here and I’ve read some interesting posts. But I can’t help wondering why there are only two women, when the vast majority of EFL teachers are women? Women teach and men talk about it?

Hi Johanna,
That’s an interesting point, and one that could well prompt a gender discussion post in the near future. We do have a number of female writers who will grace these pages very soon, so look out for their contributions. If you have any suggestions as to who we should approach, please feel free to post them here.
Many thanks,

Hi there,
Thanks for your interest. Do you have any examples of your written work you could let us have a look at? If not, some suggestions for article titles and themes would be great.
Email to elt.marketing.uk@oup.com.

I am a former teacher of English as a second language.
Would you like to read some of my free articles that may give learners of English new ideas for more productive learning? I have created a number of articles on mastering various aspects of English and a special list of the most important English learning aids. My articles have already been published on a number of websites but my articles may be of interest to learners (users of your site) and to you personally. I consider them more practical and more helpful than many articles for quicker and more effective mastering of English by foreign learners. My suggestions may be useful to you and adaptable for your purposes.

What does “MOE”stand for?

Hi William, in most cases it’s “Ministry of Education”. Hope that helps.

Hi Anna,
Thanks for your feedback! It’s much appreciated. We like the new look, too.
