2022 was a very difficult time for conducting research. Now that we are back on campus and can continue qualitative data collection, our intent is to complete the research aim this year. We could collect data from two classes in two different states and began preparing a follow-up.The website is complete and can be built out from here and has been used in in-class and homework activities in two different courses. This proves it is a robust and universally accessible platform. No complaints have been received with regard to its accessibility on a computer platform or a tablet or smartphone. This gives us confidence that our use of the materials can be expanded with confidence over the next year.Our intention is to provide an open-access resource for future classes both on-campus and elsewhere. The availability of ELF-connected material is rarely available freely, and our intent is to replace the need for textbooks that can have a detrimental effect on EFL, ESL, and ELF-users of the language. The intended outcome of this project is to make it far easier for ELF-oriented language instructors to have materials readily available for their classes.The extension of this project will allow us a longer time to trial the materials and receive valuable feedback from the students.
