As part of its policy engagement and research activities, the British Council has established a partnership with ARDAA, the association for research in English language didactics and acquisition (Association pour les Recherches en Didactique et Acquisition de l'Anglais). ARDAA's recognised expertise in this field directly supports the British Council's work on the teaching, learning and assessment of and in English. This partnership is expected to facilitate the exchange of relevant research and evidence-informed pedagogies and help make it more widely accessible across the British Council's network of policymakers, practitionners and English language educators.
