What is allango?
Allango, which is derived from the English term “all languages,” is a new online platform developed by Ernst Klett Sprachen. Its main purpose is to enhance the teaching and learning of languages.
With allango, users have direct access to a wide range of audio, video, and other digital materials. This platform enables learners to explore and take advantage of the numerous possibilities it provides for language acquisition and improvement.
Why allango?
- Compatible with all devices - mobile, tablet, laptop, and computer.

- New useful features to personalize your class.
- Additional services - a single user access for everything.

Is it the same as Klett Augmented?

- We say goodbye to scanning! You can select the desired page or filter by media type.
- With your Ernst Klett Sprachen user account credentials, you can also access allango and vice versa (Single Sign-on).
- Access to the content is available without registration, which means your students can also enjoy allango without any hassle.
- To take advantage of features like bookmarks, playlists, and downloads, registration is required, but it is simple and free.
- In addition, registered teachers have access to additional content for their classes.
What is Language Advocacy?
In an educational environment where language programs often face the threat of budget cuts and diminished resources, language advocacy emerges as a critical force for change. Language advocacy is the concerted effort to champion language-related issues and raise awareness of their profound benefits within this challenging landscape. It serves as a catalyst for preserving and prioritizing language learning initiatives, ensuring that they receive the attention and resources they urgently require.
Why does it matter?
- Advocates for language programs despite budget constraints
- Fosters cultural appreciation and empathy
- Promotes proficiency in multiple languages for global engagement
- Recognizes language skills as vital assets for diverse career paths
- Highlights personal growth opportunities through language learning
