The English-Speaking Union (ESU) is an international educational charity that promotes “international understanding and friendship through the use of the English language.”
It was founded at the end of the First World War by Sir Evelyn Wrench with the aim of promoting closer ties between the English-speaking peoples. One of its first Chairmen was Sir Winston Churchill.
Since then the Union has grown into a world wide organization operating in more than 50 countries creating international understanding through the use of English – the language we teach.
