Pearson & BBC Studios
Communication can change the world
Pearson English is proud to partner with BBC Studios. We share a common vision to transform lives through learning. Since 2005, we’ve been working together to produce high-quality content for English language learners to stimulate discussions, hear authentic conversation and build a worldwide community of educators and learners, inspired by a passion for communication.
Communication can change the world – and being able to speak the same language can change lives.
Speak Out for Sustainability is a Pearson and BBC Studios project that gives learners and educators the opportunity to participate in a worldwide project designed to raise awareness and inspire interaction around key themes such as reducing our carbon footprint or avoiding water waste.

Learning through five environmental themes
With the environment being such a large focus of the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals, the Speakout for Sustainability project offers an engaging learning journey through five environmental themes. It can help your lessons have a greener focus, helping students become more aware of sustainability.
Get involved and have a voice to use in the fight against the climate crisis.

Our joint resources
Our first Pearson and BBC Studios collaboration came in 2015: the general English course Speakout, which won a prestigious British Council ELTon award for innovation.
In 2018, we launched our first primary course together, Now I Know! Two years later, CBeebies came to pre-primary with Let’s Learn About.
Wider World, for secondary school learners, is the backbone of Pearson and BBC Live Classes, which was recognized by the British Council to be "the most Innovative Learner Resources" project in 2020.
We’re also excited to offer well-loved characters and episodes from the internationally-popular BBC TV series Doctor Who in our English Graded Readers.
