Why attend

The English UK Fair, Macau 2012 is organised by English UK, the world's leading language teaching association, in partnership with the British Council, UK Trade & Investment and VisitBritain. The success and popularity of the English UK Fairs is based on their unique small size and friendly atmosphere.

The English UK Fairs are the only agents' workshops focused exclusively on the UK's English language teaching sector, each targeting a different world region for student recruitment.
