The Publishers Association has released The English Exchange report, which provides a close look at the English language and its future in society.

With input from our partners the British Council, National Literacy Trust, Association of Authors’ Agents and The English Speaking Union, the report takes a holistic look at the public perceptions and opinions about the importance of the English language. The English language has the power to bring people together, through business, education, travel, and the arts. It is a language where many people from around the globe can find common ground to share ideas, socialise and interact. This makes it a powerful vehicle for cultural exchange – but what role does it play in shaping societies of the future?
