For this year's project — "What is Friendship? In Your Words." — we ask teachers and students to work as a class to tell us their thoughts on friendship by creating a video, radio, poster or newspaper announcement. We encourage you to showcase your English-language skills while being creative. To learn more about the project, visit www.ets.org/toefl/goenglish and be sure to view the highlight video of the 2015–16 Young Students Series GO English! project.
