A Bradford woman’s dream of taking English language learning into cyberspace has earned her a regional business nomination, reveals the Telegraph and Argus. Language teacher Bernadette Wall, 52, launched gapfillers.co.uk in 2006 to make English easier to learn for foreigners.
Hundreds of subscribers have signed up to the site, including major companies such as Shell and Unilever. Gapfillers also provides an online social network for those learning English as a second language. It enables users to improve their language skills in only ten minutes a day. Glad someone has finally seen the potential of using gap fill activities. What an innovation.

Thank you for your great review of the site. Just to add some extra information; The gap - fill idea is not just about the exercises, although you will find some there, but more about filling gaps in language learning - broadening vocabulary, adding more idiomatic and colloquial language, in essence, helping a competent English user move to a more expert user. It's also the idea of filling gaps in the day with useful practice - and gaps between lessons, so, gapfilling all round!
