2016 WORLD’S BEST LANGUAGE SCHOOLS RECOGNISED AT ESL LANGUAGE TRAVEL AWARDS

The winners of the first edition of the ESL Language Travel Awards were chosen from more than 400 language schools over the 5 continents, ranging from small independent schools to international groups. The ceremony rewarded language schools in 9 categories, from English language school of the year to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Champion.
 
In an industry with numerous accreditation bodies, the ESL Language Travel Awards provide language students with uniquely objective rankings. They are based on the careful analysis of over 7,000 students satisfaction reviews and more than 180 ESL team members ratings received over the last 12 months. Moreover, statisticians were consulted to certify that the right balance of students and team members’ feedback was considered to ensure fairness at every level.
