Company: International Language Centres Study Group Industry: Education Location: Global Solution: The Global Scale of English

Challenge
Study Group wanted to redesign their curriculum to specifically support their learners in preparing for study in an academic environment. They then wanted to provide their students with study materials tailored to achieve this.
Solution
Study Group used the Global Scale of English for Academic Learners to map out learning objectives by key skills specific to their students' needs. They then mapped these learning outcomes across the Global Scale of English's 10-90 scale so students could see in detail by skill and subskill area what was required of them.
Results
Using the Global Scale of English as a basis for the curriculum redesign allows students to be more empowered to identify and act on their learning needs. They and their teachers have a clear pathway for skills development using tailored support materials to achieve this.
