Welcome

This site is a nexus of information about projects and activities related to my current work as a language teacher in Estonia. The main focus of this collection of pages and links is English language teaching and learning, and it is my hope that it will continue to be a crossroads for my students as well as other English language learners and teachers interested in language learning, community projects, research, materials, or resources.

Should you have questions and comments or just wish to share, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy Learning!
Jennifer Uhler
