Cambridge ESOL Regional News - September
Thank you for contributing to make the Cambridge ESOL community a success!
We are pleased to announce that we will shortly be reaching 13,000 organisations that recognise Cambridge English exams. Cambridge English exams are officially accepted by thousands of universities, employers and governments globally. They can open doors to higher education, improve job prospects and, because the qualifications are so well-known internationally, increase mobility.

Coming in October: Cambridge English Penfriends
Cambridge English Penfriends is an exciting way for children learning English to connect with each other across the world through their school, and practise what they have learned.
How does it work? We connect your school with a school in another country so your students can design and exchange cards with other children in a safe environment. The cards are based on a theme – the current theme is ‘Amazing Animals’. Through Cambridge English Penfriends you will have the chance to:
- Access new, fun classroom activities
- Help your students practise reading and writing in English
- Connect to a school in another part of the world, safely and easily
- Show students that English is practical, helping them communicate internationally
- Build your students’ confidence as they communicate in English with another student
