**Description**
At Pearson, we’re committed to a world that’s always learning and to our talented team who makes it all possible\. From bringing lectures vividly to life to turning textbooks into laptop lessons, we are always re\-examining the way people learn best, whether it’s one child in our own backyard or an education community across the globe\.We are bold thinkers and standout innovators who motivate each other to explore new frontiers in an environment that supports and inspires us to always be better\. By pushing the boundaries of technology — and each other to surpass these boundaries — we create seeds of learning that become the catalyst for the world’s innovations, personal and global, large and small\.
There are two billion people in the world who would like to learn English\.
Until now, these potential learners have been served by a variety of brands and local operators\. What’s been missing is a big, trusted name that learners can turn to for a consistent experience\. **Pearson English** , a division of Pearson plc, aims to change this by bringing together Pearson’s English language learning businesses under one umbrella\.
The Pearson English key businesses include: Wall Street English \(centre based learning for consumers\); Pearson English Business Solutions \(online business English learning solutions formerly known as GlobalEnglish\) and ELT \(institutional English language publications including brands such as Longman\)\. In addition, Pearson recently announced a strategic investment in English language learning platform Voxy and acquired Grupo Multi, the leading adult English Language Training company in Brazil\.
More than 1\.5 million teachers and 35 million students already use Pearson’s English language learning resources and tools each year, with the business offering dynamic and effective learning solutions to individuals, institutions and corporations in over 150 countries\. The move will bring together this existing expertise to help Pearson better deliver best\-in\-class, personalised learning solutions to all learners, from young students and universities to corporate businesses and adult learners\.
With an estimated worth of £32 billion globally, the English language learning market is growing rapidly and by bringing together its businesses, Pearson English will be able to truly shape the future of this dynamic market by building life\-long relationships with learners of all ages, abilities and nationalities\.
The Global Scale of English will be the first global launch under the Pearson English name\.
