About the 2019–20 TOEFL® Young Students Series GO English! Project
The Places You Would Go! Your class wins a trip to go anywhere in the world. Where would you like to go? Why?
Using your English skills, work together as a class and collectively select one location you would like to visit and explain why. Did you choose this place because of its location, culture, food, weather or the people? We invite you to work in groups of four for this project to practice your English skills while creating a video, radio, poster or newspaper announcement.
ETS, the world's largest nonprofit educational measurement organization, is committed to delivering high-quality assessments — like the TOEFL Primary® and TOEFL Junior® tests — as well as conducting world-class research and advancing education worldwide. We are also committed to promoting learning that engages students on multiple levels.
With your guidance, students will be inspired to practice and improve their English-language skills, use their imagination and take pride in creating an amazing project. In addition, each participating student will receive a certificate of participation once you turn in your project.

Your goals are to:
- Work as a class or in small groups of four for a total of 5–10 hours over several weeks.
