Materials Development

Since mission english was founded, we have developed high-quality teaching materials for international publishers and in support of our own courses. We produce materials in multiple formats including paper-based and SCORM-compliant computer-based materials for internet, intranets and multimedia language labs.

mission english provided the lead for the student’s books and work books for the series Campaign English for the Military published by Macmillan Education. Campaign is the first multi-level English language course specifically developed for members of the armed forces. CAMPAIGN was awarded the Duke of Edinburgh ESU English Language Book Award for the best English language teaching book published in 2004 and the British Council Innovation Award in 2005.

In addition to materials for commercial publication, mission english also develops specific-purpose teaching materials for clients with special needs. These projects are commissioned directly by clients and are frequently a cost-effective alternative to creating materials within the clients’ own institution.

Testing and Evaluation

Responding to the testing needs of clients and in support of our own courses, mission english develops tests for both general and specific-purpose language proficiency. We also provide a consultancy service that includes support in the development of effective measurement systems and rater training for oral proficiency interviews in accordance with STANAG 6001.

Recent testing projects include:

■ English and French national STANAG 6001 exams at levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 for Spain’s Civil Guard.
■ achievement tests for Campaign, published by Macmillan Education.
■ language entrance exams for Spain’s General Military Academy.
