At National Geographic Learning, we believe in the power of curiosity to fuel the desire to learn, which is why we use incredible photography and video to inspire that curiosity in the English language learning classroom.

Learning to speak English as a foreign language has become an essential part of a 21st century education. Over 2 billion people are learning English around the world, and they will use it as both a professional tool and a way to connect with other people. In this century, global awareness is also a requirement, and we believe you can’t understand the world if you don’t experience it.

At National Geographic Learning, part of Cengage Learning, we believe education is one of the great transformative forces of this century. Among our goals is to help learners and teachers to achieve personal success and be better citizens of the 21st century. We want English language teachers and their students to experience the excitement and joy of learning, and to bring their classroom to life.
