Welcome to latest edition of our newsletter!

In this edition you can also find webinars for Teachers. The Reading and Writing webinars for Cambridge International English as a Second Language, as well as other webinars offered by Cambridge International for IGCSE and AS and A level subjects.

Some other interesting webinars are organised also by Cambridge Assessment English. Among the many offered we choose to highlight the webinar on "Supporting English Learners with Dyslexia" and one on talking to parents about whether young learners are ready to take an exam.

For IELTS candidates can watch expert live sessions through Facebook as well as download the IELTS Prep App to prepare for their exam.

We also recommend reading the Great British Education magazine where parents, students, counsellors and teachers can find out useful information on studying in the UK.

Finally, you can also see our pick this fortnight on the Digital Library. 

We hope you find these resources useful.
