About Us
The English UK Fairs are organised by English UK, the world's leading language teaching association. We are a registered charity, with the key aim of advancing the education of international students in the English language.
English UK organises the English UK Fairs in partnership with the British Council, UK Trade & Investment, and VisitBritain, which together form the English Language Promotions Group (ELPG).
About the ELPG
The ELPG (formerly called the Strategic Promotions Group) came into being in the summer of 2005, to work towards a more coordinated approach to the promotion of the English language among the members of the group.
When the group first met, they decided to put their vision for 'joined up promotion' to the test and jointly organised a fair in Cancun in March 2007 aimed at agents in the Latin American region. Following on from the success of this model, the Hong Kong Fair for the Asia Pacific region was held in February 2008 and then two further fairs were held in 2009 - in the UAE in April and in Brazil in October.
Now known as the 'English UK Fairs', these events have become a regular and much anticipated highlight of our marketing calendar.
The success and popularity of these fairs is based on their small size and friendly, relaxed atmosphere - giving educators and agents a better chance to get to know each other and develop long-lasting productive partnerships.
About English UK
We are the national association of English language teaching centres, representing more than 440 members in the state and private sectors. These include private language schools, educational trusts and charities, and language centres in further education colleges and universities.
Our members are accredited by the Accreditation UK scheme, which is managed by the British Council in partnership with English UK. The scheme checks and improves standards of teaching, management, facilities and welfare provision.
We have worked tirelessly to establish English UK as the voice of the English language teaching sector since we were formed from a merger of the leading state and private education bodies in 2004.
We represent the English language profession in the UK and abroad with a wide range of partners and stakeholders, lobbying governments, running training events, workshops, inward missions and a Partner Agency Scheme, and attending exhibitions worldwide.
