Right now, millions of students around the world are having their classes online and through TV. While the Covid-19 pandemic has closed physical schools, Ministries of Education have quickly set up an impressive system of web, broadcast and chat options to support their teachers and students. We at the British Council are always here for our friends, neighbors, partners and customers; we would like to help by providing the best UK English learning resources we have.
About Word on the Street
