Karen Traynor

Karen Traynor, founded Tralco-Lingo Fun in 1982. As a second-language teacher she saw the need for the creation of second-language materials that supported textbooks. Since 1988 Tralco has been publishing supplementary materials. Most Tralco materials are French; however, Spanish, ESL, and Italian are also available. The product line includes reproducible activity books, videos, games, incentives, software, readers and online books. They hope these materials help teachers motivate second-language students to understand, communicate and appreciate each other’s cultures.
