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.

Get up-to-date with British news and culture with English UK

Every week, we summarise the news to give you some insight into what is happening in Britain, and what people are talking about.

The days are short and the weather can sometimes be wet or cold - but there are lots of great things to do in the UK in winter...

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.
