skills. Our programs build capacity, create opportunity, and connect Pakistanis to a wider global

community. We see evidence of the impact of our programs here at the English Language Expo 2020:

dedicated professionals demonstrating not only what they have learned, but also sharing how this

knowledge can be applied practically with their peers in the Pakistani English language teaching

community. It’s inspiring!”
