Hi English Learners!
How are you managing with the summer heat? Or perhaps you’re in Australia or New Zealand and you’re beginning your journey towards winter. No matter where you are, let’s get caught up on the news!
OLS Surveys - There Are TWO!
Just in case you missed it, we have two surveys that we’d love to have you complete.
The first is: OLS General Experience Survey.
We want to make OLS better!! So, help us! How can we make your experience with the platform easier to use? What would you like to see or do? Your feedback is essential to the improvement of OLS, so click here and be part of the improvements!
The second is: OLS Video Contest Survey.
As you know, we just released the results of our contest winners and now that we have, we’re already gearing up for contest number two! But before we do, we want your thoughts. So tell us here!

- Agree that it’s important to raise awareness about sustainable internationalisation to higher education institutions, and…
- You wish to empower student organizations to be part of the engine that drives the environmental change needed.
Now these are some principles I can get behind! Learn more by going directly to GREEN ERASMUS.

Don’t let the completion of your mobility stop you from continuing to enjoy the OLS platform! That’s right, you still have access to all of the lessons, quizzes, and forums.
The forums are where you can write directly to the ENTIRE English Community!
Would you like to talk with someone who has lived in a particular country? Create a discussion in the Living Abroad forum!
If you finished your mobility and have thoughts to share about your host country, you can also do so in Living Abroad too. We have the, “What I like about…” series going strong! Tell us what you love. :)
Are you curious about improving your English for formal and informal settings? Tell us your thoughts & ask your questions in our Practice Your English forum.
There’s a NEW forum dedicated to articles and blogs. We’ve made it easier for you to read and reply to them. Check it out!
