The third and most ambitious Partnered Remote Language Improvement Project (PRELIM) has been running for almost a year and the materials and resources created are being trialled in 25 countries.

In December, English UK's insight partner BONARD released a new research report on trends shaping the future of global English language teaching. The report examines patterns emerging in 2023 across the eight major ELT host destinations.

llaria was a case worker at RefuAid for 18 months before becoming the new language lead, and has big ambitions for the job.

The English UK office will be closed from 17:00 on Friday 22 December to 09:30 on Tuesday 2 January.

With a general election due next year, this is an important time to build relationships with parliamentary candidates who are likely to become MPs.

We want to ensure that MPs in the next government understand the issues facing the UK ELT sector.

We encourage members to meet with their local parliamentary candidates in the coming months, especially where the seat is likely to change.
