We love what we do in English Language Teaching (ELT) at Pearson, because we get to work in lots of different types of classrooms around the world, from Asia to Latin America, from everyday state schools to Private Language Schools (PLS). Everyday we look at ways of combining content, assessment, technology and services to help all teachers and students across the world teach, learn and practise their English skills. Take a look at our Catalogue, Classroom Resources, ELTCommunity and Professional Development area - all designed to support teachers and help them enjoy their work. We believe in all kinds of learning, delivered at any time, in any place through materials of the highest quality, enabling you to achieve your English learning and teaching goals.
