More than 90 agents attended a seminar launching the new English UK Partner Agency Scheme in London.

The scheme is a new initiative to recognise study abroad agencies and educational consultancies which are successfully promoting the UK as an English language teaching destination.

English UK is delighted to announce that Jeremy Harmer will be delivering this year's opening plenary session at the English UK Teachers' Conference on Saturday 13th November 2010.

Jeremy's talk is entitled, 'What do Teachers do Next?' The talk will explore how teachers can continue to maintain their enthusiasm and grow as their careers develop. Jeremy replaces Maurice Claypole who has sadly had to withdraw from this year's event but we are hoping that Maurice will speak at the 2011 event instead.

StudyWorld London marks one of its biggest events with industry launches and innovations

A partnership scheme for agents and the expansion of English UK's overseas fairs were launched at StudyWorld London last week - along with a stunning new format for the event's guide. The 41st StudyWorld was one of the biggest ever, with 400 agents from 62 different countries attending the event, meeting over 300 educators.

Bookings are now open for the 2010 Student Experience Conference taking place on Thursday 21st October at EThames Graduate School in London.

This national event focuses on improving the student experience for international students, an issue identified as a key target by education policy makers that formed an integral part of the second stage of the Prime Minister's Initiative. The full day of interactive plenary and elective sessions is aimed at exploring ways that schools and colleges can improve the international student's journey throughout their time in the UK.
