Unleash the Power of Words to Connect & Grow Your Brand

April isn't just about spring showers; it's also English Language Month, a time to appreciate the rich tapestry of the English language. This month offers a unique opportunity for businesses to connect with their audience and boost their brand image.

A Celebration Rooted in History

While not a federal holiday, English Language Month traces its roots back to the United Nations. In 2010, the UN established English Language Day on April 23rd, coinciding with William Shakespeare's birthday and death anniversary. The Bard's immense contribution to shaping the English language made this date a fitting tribute. Inspired by this initiative, the TOEFL® test partnered with the National Day Calendar to designate the entire month of April as English Language Month in 2018.

Celebrating Our Linguistic Landscape

So, how do people celebrate English Language Month? Celebrations can range from educational activities in schools and libraries to book clubs delving into classic literature. Poetry readings, workshops on creative writing, and spelling bees are other popular ways to engage with the language.

Greatness lives inside you.

This could include blog posts on the history of the language, the evolution of slang, or tips for effective communication. Host online discussions or webinars on language-related topics relevant to your industry.
