Welcome to the Distance Learning Center of the Modern Institute. This site is dedicated to providing help and support for ESL teachers and trainers across the world with teaching tips, plans, discussion forums and language development activities.

Site News

The Modern Institute has closed its Sofia office, and ceased operations as of July 2009.

This web resource will remain up for the duration of our web contract, for a few more months. I encourage you to save local copies of any materials that you wish to keep long term. It has been a pleasure serving you here.

Free Teaching Tips
- Teacher: Thomas Topham
- Teacher: David Read
Here you will find all of our past teaching tips from our main public page, as well as many additional ideas, activities, lesson plans, and materials not previously offered.

There are also teacher discussion forums, quizzes, and surveys to help you stay connected with teachers around the world.

MEMBERS are free to enter - the course key is "freestuff". Enjoy!

GUESTS are welcome to browse our smaller public selection here. But why not join us, and get access to all of our excellent stuff?
