Starting September 2017 Educational Testing Service (ETS) and the ® program invite you and other English-language classrooms from around the globe to participate in the fourth edition of the Young Students Series GO English! project.

For this year's project, "Your Time Capsule. In Your Words." we ask teachers and students to work as a class to tell us what items are important to you at this moment and why you would include them in a time capsule. It could include items such as your favorite game, book, sport, school celebration, food or school subject. We encourage you to showcase your English-language skills in creating a video, radio, poster or newspaper announcement. To learn more about the project, visit www.ets.org/toefl/goenglish and be sure to view the highlight video of last year's TOEFL Young Students Series GO English! project.
