What: The British Council’s free ELT site: lesson plans, courses, webinars, pathways, articles, and a research-publications library with DOIs.
Stance: Inclusive, multilingual, context-sensitive and policy-oriented. Much of the research is commissioned and self-evaluated, so read it as advocacy-adjacent. Little on exam teaching.
