导读

今天，在第27届中国国际教育年会（CACIE2026）上，宁波诺丁汉大学与英国文化教育协会（British Council）正式签署战略框架合作协议。

依托宁诺国际化教学体系与英国文化教育协会在国际语言教育领域的专业积淀与全球资源，双方将在英语语言测评、学术支持、学生发展、教师培训等领域开展深度协作，持续完善面向宁诺师生的全链条语言支持体系，助力培养具备全球胜任力的国际化人才。

根据协议，合作将重点从师资、测评和生态三个层面展开。

师资端

中国首个雅思官方教师培训体系ITE（IELTS Teacher Essentials）高阶版本将落地宁诺。

这套培训不局限于应试技巧，而是以“测评驱动教学”为核心理念，帮助教师把国际评分标准运用到日常的分层教学和学业反馈中，从而培养具备顶级国际语言测评素养的教师队伍，推动校内学术英语课程持续优化升级。

测评端

宁诺将加入雅思全球认可系统，提升学校在国际语言测评领域的官方认可度，并开通雅思成绩单在线查验服务及分数数据报告，为教学质量评估和课程优化提供数据支撑。

同时引入普思（Aptis）国际英语测评合作，由英国文化教育协会设立专属考务团队，面向在校学生开展阶段性英语能力测评，学生可以清晰定位自身听说读写短板，明确后续语言提升方向，实现“以测促学”。

生态端

将面向宁诺师生开放雅思官方备考资源，包含官方模考数字化学习平台，形成“教、学、练、测”闭环。

此外，依托英国文化教育协会覆盖全球的院校合作网络，提升宁诺在全球的声誉度，进一步提高国际高校对宁诺学生的认可度，为学生的海外深造和交流搭建更广阔的平台。

英国文化教育协会是英国官方国际文化教育交流机构，在全球百余个国家搭建语言教育与测评网络，是国际英语学术语言教学领域公认的权威机构。作为中国第一所中外合作大学，宁诺始终坚持优质国际化教育，重视教学质量、教师团队的专业化发展与学生综合能力构建。

宁诺英语语言教学中心（CELE）副主任Shayna Kozuch指出，本次合作深化了CELE、宁诺商务拓展部与英国文化教育协会由来已久的合作关系，把国际前沿测评实践嵌入宁诺全英文教学体系，让测评真正服务于教学，让资源真正惠及师生成长。

“我们期待与宁诺共同探索出一条中外合作办学背景下，国际语言测评与教学深度融合的标杆之路。”英国文化教育协会中国业务发展总监吕惠表示。

从宁诺的办学愿景出发，宁诺教学副校长潘诺阳（Panos Vlachopoulos）教授补充道：“在宁诺，我们常称自己是一所‘无边界大学’，即让知识、思想和人才在不同文化和机构间自由流动。相信与英国文化教育协会的合作能推动这一愿景落地。结合宁诺在跨国教育领域的经验，以及英国文化教育协会的专业能力和国际网络，我们希望助力中国跨国教育更创新、可持续、高质量发展。”

UNNC and British Council sign strategic partnership to enhance international education

The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) has signed a strategic framework agreement with the British Council, establishing a new partnership to strengthen English language education, enhance teaching quality and support the development of globally competitive graduates.

Signed on 30 October at the 27th China Annual Conference for International Education (CACIE 2026), the agreement brings together UNNC's distinctive international education model and the British Council's global expertise in English language teaching and assessment. The agreement deepens the long-standing partnership between the British Council, UNNC’s Centre for English Language Education (CELE) and the Business Development Office, whose collaboration forms the foundation of the new framework.It will extend across teacher development, language assessment and academic support, creating a more comprehensive language learning ecosystem for the University.

A key feature of the partnership is the introduction of the British Council’s newly upgraded IELTS Teacher Essentials (ITE) training system, through which the two parties will develop a structured professional development pathway for teachers, promoting assessment-driven teaching and continuous improvements in teaching quality. UNNC will also join the IELTS Global Recognition System, gaining access to online verification of IELTS results and score data reports. In addition, a dedicated British Council examination service team will support the implementation of Aptis assessments, enabling the university to track students’ English proficiency at different stages of their studies and provide more targeted language support.

UNNC students and staff will also benefit from access to official IELTS preparation resources, including digital practice platforms. Supported by the British Council’s global network of higher education institutions, the partnership will further strengthen international recognition of UNNC students’ academic and language capabilities, supporting their progression to leading universities overseas and expanding opportunities for international mobility.

Panos Vlachopoulos, Vice Provost for Education and Student Experience at UNNC, said: “At UNNC, we often describe ourselves as a university without borders. For us, this means creating opportunities for knowledge, ideas and people to move freely across cultures and institutions. We believe our partnership with the British Council can help turn this vision into reality. By combining UNNC’s experience in transnational education with the British Council’s expertise and international connections, we hope to develop new approaches that benefit students, empower educators and contribute to more innovative, sustainable and high-quality transnational education in China.”

Beyond the immediate benefits to teaching and learning, the partnership reinforces UNNC’s commitment to international education and academic excellence. By integrating globally recognised assessment expertise with its English-medium teaching environment, the university will further enhance its educational offering and international profile. This will also strengthen its appeal to prospective students and their families, while supporting its efforts to attract and develop high-quality academic and professional talent from around the world.

“We look forward to working with UNNC to establish a leading model for the deep integration of international language assessment and teaching within the Sino-foreign cooperative education sector,” said Lü Hui, Director of China Business Development at the British Council.

The partnership marks another step in UNNC’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and international standing of its education, ensuring that students and staff benefit from world-class resources, expertise and opportunities.
