Wikiotics
Every language.
For everyone.

Wikiotics is a site for learning a foreign language.

Wikiotics hosts freely licensed, user-contributed lessons for the language acquisition community. There are instruction materials for many languages, listed below.

Everything is editable.

Each lesson and page on this site is editable on GitHub. Prior to July 2020, all lessons were built using a graphical interface here on wikiotics.org. This is where the name “wiki” comes from.

WikiConference USA

June 6, 2014

This past weekend was the inaugural WikiConference USA, a New York area conference focused on all things wiki. I presented a summary of our work with PS 9 at a session on Saturday morning and was privileged to share a track with Gabriel Thullen, a Swiss computer and media teacher who helps students contribute to Wikipedia as early as 7th grade. It was wonderful to see others who are working directly in schools and, as always, I was very pleased to talk with language teachers from as far away as San Francisco and Canada.
