Widgepedia is a support wiki for teachers who use or are interested in using Widgets Inc.: A task-based course in workplace English (2018, Atama-ii Books) in their English classes. If you are not familiar with Widgets Inc., please read about the course.

This is a wiki, so we expect that it will always remain a work in progress. As we get new ideas for improving the course, we will add them here. Likewise, if you have an idea which could help other teachers to use the course, please let us know — or just go ahead and add it to the wiki yourself.

Anyone can access and use the materials on Widgepedia. However, if you wish to edit pages, add other resources, share your modified lesson plans, etc., then you will need to create an account. Click the login button at the top-right of the page to do this.

NOTE: Please include the characters "ELT" as part of your account name. This is for us to easily see who is a legitimate user and who is a spam-bot. Edits made by accounts which do not include the characters "ELT" will be automatically deleted.

Please note that editing is not automatic. All edits are reviewed and then approved or rejected by the administrator, usually within 24 hours. This is a safety feature to prevent vandalism and spam. If your edit still hasn't been approved after 24 hours, try contacting us at publisher (at-mark) atama-ii (dot) com.

Finally, please be respectful of others and follow our User Guidelines. Happy Widgeting!
