Bookings are now open for the 2014 Marketing Conference aimed at all professionals promoting, marketing and selling ELT courses to study abroad agents and international students. This conference is being held close to the Houses of Parliament in the heart of Westminster, at One Great George Street, on Friday 7 February 2014.

English language teachers who want to carry out action research but would like some practical support, are encouraged to apply for a pioneering new scheme created by English UK and Cambridge English Language Assessment.

Passionate arguments for both points of view were made in the opening and closing sessions of the English UK Teachers' Conference, delighting the delegates at the London event. With 265 attending, plus speakers and exhibitors, it was the biggest Teachers' Conference ever.

Technology's place in the classroom, practical teaching ideas, and the chance to become a classroom researcher are all on offer at this year's English UK Teachers' Conference.
