Add content to your newsletters

ELT Calendar provides event information preformated for e-mail newsletters. You can use this if your newsletter is opt-in (people subscribe themselves to it) and is for language teachers in Japan.

RSS and Atom Syndication

See our RSS feeds page to see what's available. These feeds are subscribed to by dozens of teachers, and can be displayed on your own website (but only if you have some advanced skills; for an easy alternative, see the next section below, "Add content to your website."). Some examples of websites using the RSS feed are JALT's conference listing page of The Language Teacher magazine, and JALT Hokkaido).

Add content easily to your website

Add our content to your website with a few lines of code, and it will always stay updated, automatically! As seen on ELT News, KevinRyan.com, AdventurAsia, Fukuoka Guide and more!
You can choose the basic content (shown below) or customized content.

What do you need?
  • You don't really need to understand HTML or JavaScript to make this work. You only need to know how to paste some lines of HTML into your web page.
  • You only do this once, and the content updates automatically, every day.

What do you do?
Copy the code from the box below. Paste it into your HTML page. And you're finished.

What does that do?
The code above gives you the next 7 events, as shown in the box here:

What's the catch?
  • This is free. You must use the complete code (including the "noscript" part). You don't have to contact us. (If you want your link on this page as an example, then send the to us. Otherwise, it's not required.)
  • Uptime is guaranteed at 99.9% yearly average. The 0.1% chance of downtime is beyond anyone's control, and you agree to accept that and not hold us responsible. Use of the script indicates agreement.
  • ELT Calendar agrees not to alter the spirit of the content feed. We won't use it to plant secret cookies or place advertisements on your site, etc.
  • Rest assured: You're using the exact same content feed page as ELT News. (They use customized content to show more than 7 events; you can, too.)

Customize the Code:

Customize the output: Change as many as you want to of the four options below. To show the maximum number of events, only choose "14" for days and leave the rest of the choices at "standard"; this works well except during 'dry' months such as August and late December-early January.
Location - You can limit the listing to only 1 prefecture:
Days - If you want to limit the number of days, choose a number below. Doing this may give you a large number of events shown, depending on the season.
Number of events - The default (standard) is 7 events shown or all the events within the "Days" selected above. If you'd like to limit the number of events to a specific number, choose a number below.
Organizations - If you'd like to restrict your list to only one group, you can. Two of the most active groups are listed below; if you want a different group, email us.
