enabling teachers and teacher educators to improve their students’ learning outcomes, especially in English and Core Skills
delivering research and innovation (from the British Council and the UK) that provides evidence of best practice in English language teaching and learning, and contributes to the development of the English Language profession worldwide
ensuring iternationalisation and systems development delivers long term benefits for our partner countries
enabling students and professionals to get internationally recognised UK qualifications for study, life and work
delivering high quality English teaching that helps people to study and work and to develop careers, confidence and networks.
