Additional information

LORO is a collection of resources to support language teaching and learning. Some of the materials in LORO have been specifically designed to support Open University Language courses and are deposited in LORO as Open Educational Resources to be adapted and re-used freely in any context.

LORO connects Open University staff to the wider languages community.

You are welcome to deposit your own resources into LORO to store them as your personal resources, to share them with your colleagues within the OU community or with the external language community.

You can browse and search for any language teaching materials, and once you have found what you are looking for, any material can be re-used, adapted, or re-purposed for your own needs.

Comments / evaluation

Rich repository of learning material for FL teaching/learning.

Search is a bit limited (by language and language level, as well as by keyword). Tags are not very easy to use.

Probably best way to find materials is by Open University modules: http://loro.open.ac.uk/ou-modules.html
