    YEREVAN. - The teaching of English is at a high level in Armenia.

    the 25th anniversary of the worldwide introduction of the IELTS
    (International English Language Testing System).

    "The British Council plays a key role in the teaching of English; this
    is very important for the development of intercultural dialogue,"
    Ambassador Leach said.

    In turn, Arevik Saribekyan, Director at British Council, Armenia
    office, stressed that there is a growing interest in Armenia toward
    the IELTS.

    "There are 900 [IELTS] test centers in 135 countries and, in Armenia,
    it is the British Council. We collaborate with the French University
    in Armenia, the Pedagogical University, the Russian-Armenian
    (Slavonic) University, and the American University of Armenia,"
    Saribekyan noted.

    She added that the British Council is also ready for the online
    learning of the IELTS.
