GlobalEnglish Senior Academic Advisor Named One of Fifty Australians Who Really Matter

’Sydney Morning Herald’ Says That Nunan Has Been Hugely Influential in the Proliferation of English Through Asia.
BRISBANE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/18/2005 -- GlobalEnglish Corporation, the leading online English learning and support service for business communication, today announced that its senior academic advisor, Dr. David Nunan, was selected as one of Australia’s 50 Australians Who Really Matter by the Sydney Morning Herald.

Dr. David Nunan is a superstar in the field of English education, and GlobalEnglish is extremely fortunate to have his counsel, said Ron Hoge, GlobalEnglish President and CEO. Dr. Nunan is helping GlobalEnglish realize our goal of offering the most effective method for learning English. As our customers are migrating employees from classroom to online learning, they are consistently achieving measurable impact on their bottom- and top-line performance.

Dr. Nunan has taught English in Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia. Teachers and students in Japan, South Korea and China bought more than 20 million copies of his textbooks in the last six months of 2004 alone. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the importance of English communication for global corporations during the Language & Business Conference on May 31 in Duesseldorf, Germany.

English is the language of business; however, it is my experience that most employees’ proficiency lags well behind their need to communicate, said Dr. Nunan. I have chosen to work closely with GlobalEnglish Corporation because they understand this problem and have built an online learning service with the highest standards for educational excellence. There is no question in my mind that the GlobalEnglish Corporate Learning Service is the best product on the market for businesses, delivering results comparable to that of classroom instruction.

Among the winners joining Dr. Nunan on the 50 list are media mogul Rupert Murdoch, swimmer Ian Thorpe, writer Germaine Greer and actors Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.
