Sri Lanka, with its rich cultural heritage and thriving tourism, banking, and communications industries, is experiencing steady economic development. The services industry now comprises more than 60 percent of the GDP of the country. Significantly, almost 25 percent of the country’s population can speak English, indicating a strong foundation for English language proficiency in Sri Lanka. This existing strength, coupled with a growing desire for global opportunities, presents a significant opportunity for learners to enhance their skills and pursue their ambitions. This presents a unique opportunity for Sri Lanka’s youth to drive growth, advance their careers, and contribute to a more prosperous future.  Burlington English’s recent engagement in Colombo saw key stakeholders from the educational sector coming together to discuss the future of English language education in Sri Lanka. An interactive teacher training workshop led by their world-renowned trainer, Andrew Steele, provided hands-on opportunities for educators to explore innovative teaching techniques and tools for creating engaging learning experiences in the classroom.
