The British Council's free Massive Open Online Course Exploring English: Language and Culture is being offered on futurelearn.com for the second time, by popular demand. It is a six-week course that begins on 2 February 2015.
Chris Brandwood, Regional Business Development Manager, English, British Council South Asia, said, "This course is for those keen to improve their English for work, travel or study. Large numbers of people from across the world signed up for the first edition of the course and we look forward to large numbers this time too."
The course uses short videos to present a different topic each week, including English as a global language, the environment, entrepreneurship and literature. It centres on social interaction, where people engage in debates and participate in online quizzes, all of which encourage active learning.
