The ‘Perspectives Series’ sets out the British Council’s approach to a range of issues around the English language in learning systems around the world. The papers build on the experience of British Council experts from across the organisation. Contributions come from the English Language Research Group (ELRG) which includes representatives from the Assessment Research Group, English Teaching and Learning as well as English in Education Systems (EES).
