Welcome to a new series where we feature our favorite web tools and apps for language learners and teachers. This month we are highlighting MyLAMPA. MyLAMPA is an all-in-one intuitive platform designed for language teachers and schools. This learning management system combines peer-to-peer networking, teaching and learning tools, and resources in an innovative approach to lesson planning, organization of teaching activities and learning management. MyLAMPA was developed by language teachers and for everyone involved in the language teaching and learning process. Below are a list of MyLAMPA’s features to support the learning needs of language learners.
