British Council India
Welcome to English for Progress online

This year for the first time we hosted a virtual Policy Dialogue alongside the face to face conference in Delhi from 18-20 November 2009. English for Progress online brought the discussions from the Third Policy Dialogue to a global audience via the internet. The site is still live and you can access all the features from this page.

The Third Policy Dialogue aimed to highlight challenges and reveal best practices in English language teaching and learning that can benefit the education system, teachers and learners in India and Sri Lanka. The dialogue also introduced ‘English Next: India’, which is being published by the British Council and written by David Graddol, a well-known UK writer, broadcaster and lecturer. The publication highlights the status and issues in English language education in India
