English UK will have a high profile at ICEF Dubai next month, promoting the UK education offer to student recruitment agents from the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and Turkey. Will you be there?
Agents, join our seminar 'UK ELT: a briefing on the latest statistics and safeguarding 101' on Monday evening, find English UK at table 1 and visit our Education is GREAT village. There will be more than 40 UK organisations at this regional international education forum, as well as a prominent English UK display to promote UK ELT to the world and, as the event's gold sponsor, Education is GREAT branding throughout.
English UK members, we have a pre-event briefing focussed on practical tips and insights into marketing ELT in the Middle East. All UK educators at the event will be able to raise their profile by displaying the Education is GREAT table-top item, which the English UK team will bring to your table. This is a great way to enhance the UK's visibility and for you to connect with this globally recognised UK Government brand.
Don't forget that English UK produce and commission reports into specific important or emerging overseas ELT markets, offering historical context, data and cultural insights. Visit the member area of the website to download the Gulf reports.
UK ELT: a briefing for agents on the latest statistics and safeguarding 101
Monday 11 February, 18:15 - 19:00
Level 1, Room 1
Our seminar is open to all student recruitment agents interested in developing their knowledge of the UK English language teaching (ELT) sector.
Join Jodie Gray, English UK's director of strategic development, for a session highlighting the latest findings of the association's annual and quarterly statistics schemes. Jodie will also give a briefing on how the UK safeguards young learners while they are in the country. All the data points to the ever-growing number of juniors studying English in the UK. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be clear on how the UK's strict laws and regulations ensure the safety and well-being of these young students.
