We work across the education sector in primary, secondary and tertiary (TVET, HE) and pre-service and in-service teacher education.
English language teaching in education
We work in partnership with ministries of education and education authorities worldwide to raise standards in the teaching, learning and testing of English as a subject.
Experts in teacher development, assessment and curricula, we use our experience to improve English teaching and learning opportunities for both teachers and learners, and expand access to high-quality professional development.
Our work enables more informed decision making about curriculum development, learning standards and teacher development needs, supporting countries to build sustainable education systems and introduce more effective and inclusive practices into everyday teaching. This leads to teachers empowered with the confidence, knowledge and tools they need to improve their own practice and transform outcomes for all learners.
English in a multilingual world
We break down barriers to learning in contexts where students are taught in English rather than in their home language.
We know that many young learners in low- or middle-income countries learn best in their own or a familiar language, so we advocate for language policy and practices that leave no child behind. We use our experience in multilingual approaches to teaching and the medium of instruction to support governments where this is appropriate.
We also work with primary school teachers to help young learners build the English foundational skills they need to transition to English-medium education. This enables all learners to enjoy their right to education and to showcase their knowledge and skills to their fullest potential.
