English UK, a membership organisation for accredited British English language training centres, recently held workshops in Tokyo and Taipei. With more than 50 agents from the Asia–Pacific region joining, the format was designed to allow attendance by as many centres and educators from English UK’s membership as possible.
On 6 January, The Pie News reported English UK Market Development Manager Roz Gill as saying: “This region has always been important for our members. With the education strategy of the Japanese government and the Olympics in 2020, it felt like the right time to reinforce members’ partnerships in this key market”.
