About Us
Ellii is a comprehensive digital platform that empowers English language teachers around the world with high-quality content and interactive courseware. Ellii can be easily integrated into an existing curriculum, or it can serve as the primary source of teaching materials for both in-person and online classes.
Here at Ellii, we believe that in order to learn a new language, students must be interested in the content of each lesson. Our ready-made lessons are designed to engage students at all levels and foster meaningful discussions while simultaneously meeting language targets.
As an agile publishing company, we take a responsive approach to content creation, developing materials that are requested by teachers and that reflect current, real-world issues. Unlike a textbook, we continually create, update, and adapt content to reflect recent events, changes in language, and student needs.
Formerly known as ESL Library, the platform was founded in 2002 as a supplementary resource site for English teachers. Today, Ellii is used in more than 10,000 schools around the world, including K–12 schools, private language schools, post-secondary institutions, and online tutoring platforms.
