Interview with Kevan Cummins about Learnenglish British Council sites

Kevin Cummins is the person in charge of Learnenglish British Council sites 

Learnenglish series include three parts targeting learners according to their age group:

•  Kids  http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/ with1 million visitors per month, most of which are estimated to be teachers
• Grammar with Gran  is the new series launched for young learners http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/grammar-videos
• Speak and spell is an excellent part of the site where chilsren can improve their English pronunciation through fun action songs, stories and games http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/speak-and-spell

• For Teens, the site was launched last year, keeping in mind what teens might do in the classroom but it also contains videos, games etc as well as exam preparation stuff and practice materials http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/

• For Adults you can visit  http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/

New challenges relate to the new technological era and the transition

·       from Desktop to tablets. Children will no longer access the internet with the company of a parent, as was the case until now, rather they will be on their own. So learning has to become more intuitive. Learnenglish websites have therefore shifted their interest towards Mobile learning.   
      Learnenglish sites are also available in many languages, such as

• Spanish
• French
• Chinese
• Thai
• Japanese
• Russian
• Arabic·
