Your Opinion (Survey) As part of the grant, it is important for us to evaluate the value of offering TELL ME MORE online. Your feedback will help help determine if we should continue to fund this program after the grant year has ended.
TELL ME MORE Online is an award-winning language learning program from Auralog. This comprehensive program is suitable for both beginning and advanced language learners and includes separate courses for everyday language and business language. Access to this language program is made possible in 2008 by an LSTA grant awarded to the Outagamie Waupaca Library System and the Nicolet Federated Library System. The two library systems, in collaboration with member libraries, area literacy councils, and school districts aim to provide increased opportunities for learning English and for communicating with non-English speakers.
We are very excited to be able to offer this language program. Getting started, however, can be a little tricky, so please read through this page carefully before creating a TELL ME MORE account. If you still encounter problems, please see the contact us section for help.
