We are thrilled to announce the five winners of our English is Great: Speak to the World competition. This is a campaign we've been running in Brazil to promote studying English in the UK.

In challenging times for our industry, quality ELT marketing is crucial. So we're delighted to have created our best English UK Marketing Conference ever, packed full of great sessions to help you assess future trends, get practical help with social media, and find out what students really want, with insight from top industry experts.

English UK would like to wish everyone the very warmest season's greetings and look forward to seeing many of you at English UK events in 2016.

English UK has arranged a memorial service for Eddie Byers, our late chief executive, which will be held close to the English UK office in January 2016.

The British Council in Japan will publish its first "Education UK English Language Study Guidebook" and members are invited to book spaces to advertise their centre in this booklet.
