Following on from the success of our recent fair in Chiang Mai, we are pleased to advise bookings are now open for our next fair for the Asia Pacific region - The English UK Fair, Kyoto 2014. This will take place from Tuesday 07 to Friday 10 October 2014.

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.

Setting fire to things is normally not encouraged during agent workshops. But the English UK Fairs are a little bit different -- so delegates at last month's event in Thailand got the chance to not only send tiny candlelit flower boats down a river, but also to light and fly lanterns into the moonlit sky as part of a local festival.

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.
