Another Competition Coming Soon....

After our recent Focus and Wider World competitions, a lot of you have been asking when our next contest will take place.  Here's Michael Hudson with a special preview....

The Christmas lights are going up, the leaves are coming down and we're almost at the end of Pearson's 20th anniversary year in Ukraine.  It's been a landmark 12 months for us all.  In April, over 1,000 people saw Vaughan Jones, Ania Kolbuszewska and Marek Jedryka speak in three different cities, while more than 500 teachers attended last month's two-day English Forum conference held at the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics.  Personally, I've spent much of this year travelling the length and breadth of the country, doing seminars, workshops, demonstration lessons and PTE examining in - deep breath! - Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv, Lutsk, Shatsk, Cherkasy, Kropyvnytskiy, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Ivano Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Drohobych, Zaporizhia and Khmelnitskiy. 

We were almost as busy with our competitions.  Several lucky teachers got the chance to have coffee with Focus author Vaughan Jones when he visited Kyiv, Odesa and Lviv. From May to October, hundreds of students from all over Ukraine joined the wider world by writing to tell us about their hometowns.  I know Tom and I are both really looking forward to meeting the winning year 6 students from Vinnytsia's Gymnasium Number 1 in person sometime soon!

Our final competition of 2017 had to be something really special.  Thanks to our partners at Alekom Tour, it really, really is.  How special?  Well, if you're a student in a year 8, 9, 10 or 11 class at one of our Pearson Partner Schools, you'll soon have the chance to win a two-week study trip here:
