British council listening

At the British Council, we understand that children develop and excel when learning is interactive, engaging and fun . Our teachers, classrooms and courses encourage children to experiment with language, build confidence and improve their communication skills in a safe, supportive and stimulating environment.

Our massive open online courses (MOOCs) are free programmes of study developed in collaboration with the British platform FutureLearn . Using approaches that go well beyond traditional linguistics, our MOOCs allow students from every corner of the globe to develop their English and discover British culture.

The British Council builds connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language .
