With a wide variety of local contexts, increasing exam pressures, and a patchwork of British, American and other varieties of English being delivered, producing quality ELT resources poses plenty of challenges. Frances Amrani looks at how these challenges can be met by ELT publishers.

We were delighted to work with Pearson to promote the diversity of British history through the creation of an eBook about Dr Harold Moody.
Charlotte al-Qadi explains why and how the publishing industry can embrace cultural contexts.
Our client was publishing maths and science instructional materials for schools in the Middle East region on behalf of the Ministry of Education.
