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.
