The English Speaking Union (ESU) announced the winners of the HRH The Duke of Edinburgh ESU English Language Book Award for 2009, and winners were presented their certificates at Buckingham Palace on 12 November.

English UK Diploma in ELT Management (DELTM) tutor, Terry Phillips, won the award for the English for Specific Academic Purposes series (Garnet Education), to which he is a regular contributor.

The judges unanimously selected English for Specific Academic Purposes for the award, stating that it was exemplary in its focus on very specialised academic learning needs.

"The series delivers consistent high-quality course material across a wide range of specialised areas and fills an ever-growing market need as overseas students increase in number within the UK higher education system. Garnet Education are to be praised for their commitment to this area of language learning."

English UK would like to congratulate Terry on this award.
