About Research papers
The British Council works closely with universities and other research institutions to fund and publish ELT research. The Research Papers series gathers together the outputs of these partnerships and collaborations. The series includes reports written by partners working with the British Council as part of the ELT Research Partnerships scheme. Research commissioned by the British Council can also be found in this series. The British Council is committed to making the results of innovative and inspiring research available to ELT practitioners worldwide.
Produced in partnership with UK and overseas specialists, the series presents the latest findings in key areas of ELT – teaching Young Learners, learning technologies, teacher education and more – and provides practical recommendations to teachers and teacher educators working in a range of contexts and conditions.
