Langwich Scool Cartoons on teaching English and the language-learning classroom

Jon Marks’s popular strip cartoon, Langwich Scool, made its first appearance back in October 1999 in Issue 13 of English Teaching professional. Jon has entertained us since then with his wry commentary on the state of English language teaching. All good things come to an end, but we want to mark the end of an era and the start of something new (namely the merger of English Teaching professional with Modern English Teacher). Before the Director of Studies (DoS) of Langwich Scool switches off the lights and locks the front door for the final time, we’ve put all the fantastic cartoons together in one place. You can see some of them in colour for the first time, plus a few new ones in to bring us up to date with how Langwich Scool coped in the times of Covid. Whether you fondly remember Langwich School from ETp or it is totally new to you, if you are looking for a wry, humorous commentary on the state of English language teaching, the challenges teachers face and typical learning environments then this is the book for you. A simple pick up and flick through cartoon book, it is more than likely going to make you laugh – the perfect antidote to our current climate.
