The English Council Created to Protect and Preserve the English Language and Culture for all

(The English Council is a Charity Style organisation)

 

The English Language is like a strong English Oak Tree, with its roots firmly planted in England. The English language began as a little acorn (the seed of an oak tree) in A.D. 449, 1,560 years ago at a place called Ebbsfleet, near Ramsgate in Kent, England, UK.

From this little acorn of a language has grown the strongest most important language in the world

 

From little acorns, many a large and strong English Oak tree has grown.

So it is with all the Teachers and Schools that are registered with the English Council. They too will grow from strength to strength and thus help to protect and preserve the English language and culture for all in the future, In this way they will maintain a strong linguistic core base to help and promote all the different varieties of English being taught and spoken throughout the world today,

The English Council was formed in the year 2000 by a group of like-minded native speakers of English, who were concerned about the spoken English Language and the English Culture, how it was being misused, abused, changed and badly used as it is taught and spoken in England and throughout the world.
The main aim of the English Council is to promote and encourage the teaching of spoken English to facilitate its primary function - communication. Speech is the fastest method of communication between people, but it’s all too often the case that people supposedly speaking the same language, in this case English, do not understand each other, because of: accent, dialect or just poor pronunciation. To this aim we maintain that International standard English (the Queen's English) be the core base of the English language.
The English Council is an English Language and culture organisation, a guiding body for teachers, schools and students intent on improving their English skills throughout the world and in the country in which Oxford and Cambridge Universities are situated, where the sport of Soccer Football was born, and where the original and most distinctly articulated English is spoken. From the birth place of the English Language, were it has been spoken for the past 1,500 years and subsequently for only the past 500 years in America.
The English Council provides: teacher training and registration, for Teaching English as a Second or Other Language.
Our purpose is to build mutually beneficial relationships between people in England and other countries throughout the world and to increase appreciation of England's creative ideas and achievements. We are also keen to establish professional partnerships with organisations and individuals throughout the world, in the fields of education and culture.
