Have a specific skill, theme, or level you need materials for? Feel free to reach out! I love creating resources in response to real classroom needs and am always happy to take requests or adapt materials. You can email me at: lwstratton@gmail.com
When I’m not designing activities, you’ll find me geeking out over language-learning apps, exploring how AI can support (not replace!) great teaching, or practicing my Mandarin and German. I’ve lived and taught internationally — including a Fulbright year in Russia and time teaching in France — which shapes how I bring authentic cultural context into everything I create.
Teaching style
I believe in "pedagogy first, technology second." Every resource I create starts with a clear learning goal — then I figure out the most engaging way to get students there.
My materials are:
✨ Interactive & hands-on — fill-in-the-blank, matching, dialogues, and creative activities that get students producing language, not just consuming it
🌍 Culturally authentic — real-world contexts like French markets, cafés, and family traditions so students learn how and why language is used
📐 Scaffolded for success — activities progress from recognition to production, building confidence along the way
🎯 Minimal prep for teachers — clear layouts, answer keys included, ready to print or project
I design resources I'd actually want to use in my own classroom — no fluff, no busywork, just effective practice that respects your time and your students' intelligence.
