The 2021-2022 program year at the English-Speaking Union was filled with hope and excitement, with the sense that, no matter what obstacles we faced, there was a brighter future ahead. It was a year of recovery and adaptation, a year when ESU members, students and staff came together to overcome the hurdles set up by the lingering pandemic and not only successfully carry on but expand our programs and impact.
2021-2022 will likely be remembered as the year when HRH The Princess Royal almost came to New York. After year-long preparations the resurgent Omicron variant forced an eleventh-hour postponement of her visit. In fact, this was her second attempt to travel to New York that was foiled by the pandemic, but the setback stung because it was so last-minute. However, we did not allow the disappointment to dampen our spirits. We regrouped and re-worked our plans. We persisted and were rewarded by having the honor of finally hosting Her Royal Highness ten months later in the fall of 2022. But this is a story for another annual report.
In 2021-2022 we stayed committed to supporting our Branches and the programs that engage and inspire our members. From the block-buster online Happy Hour events to the virtual Annual General Conference, the National Shakespeare Competition and the Platinum Jubilee Celebration, the ESU’s embrace of the new digital tools increased access to our programs and events and allowed us to reach more members across the country. As we gradually brought back some in-person activities, we kept our online offerings as they had already attracted a strong following.
The 39th edition of the ESU National Shakespeare Competition, our third all-digital competition in response to COVID, brought together 43 regional winners to the finals via Zoom. Since the Competition finals were broadcast nationally, parents, teachers, peers and ESU members cheered them on from across the country.
In the spring of 2022 we introduced the ESU National Shakespeare Writing Program inspired by similar writing competitions in a couple of our Branches. This year-round programming held its first contest in the spring of 2022 and engaged students who express their love of Shakespeare and the English language through writing rather than performance.
As the pandemic slowly retreated in early 2022, in-person events offered a welcome opportunity for us to come together and celebrate. We were all eager to reconnect with friends and meet new people. As part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, festivities at ESU Branches across the country provided a much-needed sense of excitement and positivity after a long period of social isolation. I travelled to Louisville, KY; Greenwich, CT; Boston, MA; and New York City to participate in Branch Platinum Jubilee parties and other events and saw firsthand the joy of being part of a shared community.
Our educational programs also brought back face-to-face activities. The ESU Teachers Learning Abroad (TLab) program started preparations for a busy in-person summer semester, with 39 teachers signing up to cross the pond in July.
After an auspicious relaunch of the ESU Evelyn Wrench Speaker Series featuring a virtual lecture by Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer DL on November 20, 2021, the program offered an exciting in-person spring season of talks across the country. Former British ambassador to China Sir Christopher Hum, Pulitzer Prize recipient in History Dr. Edward Larson, and theater historian and consummate storyteller Jim Stebbings crisscrossed the U.S. to regale audiences in thirteen Branches with their insightful and entertaining presentations.
The 2021-2022 recipient of the ESU Luard Morse Scholarship George Pratt from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, spent the 2022 spring semester at the University of Manchester, and for the first time since the pandemic, the ESU Secondary School Exchange sent ten students to live and study in in the U.K. and the U.S.
The ESU Middle School Debate engaged over 1,800 students in debate activities and tournaments and offered teachers professional development workshops on how to introduce debate-centered instruction in their classrooms, an important innovation in teaching critical thinking and civil discourse.
The ESU’s immigrant programs – the nearly 50-year-old English in Action and the comprehensive Andrew Romay New Immigrant Center (ARNIC) – opened up another path to the hearts and minds of our members, current and future, by engaging them in volunteerism and cultural exchange. As a pilot, we launched the English in Action Across America conversations program in several ESU Branches using a virtual format, with the potential of expanding it in-person to more locations nationally. Just as in the New York area, the volunteer members have found great reward and enjoyment in their weekly conversations with English learners from all over the world.
I am delighted, and proud, to present you with this annual report. It is as much a record of the ESU’s achievements during a challenging year, as it is a tribute to the resilience and loyalty of our members and volunteers. Your generous support with time and treasure made these accomplishments possible. It is also a testament to the determination and grit of our teachers and students, new immigrants and English language learners who continued to reach for the stars. And finally, this Annual Report is an acknowledgment of the hard work and talent of the ESU staff, led by President and Executive Director Karen Karpowich. Thank you!
Enjoy reading about how the ESU advanced its mission in the challenging 2021-2022 and please renew your membership, and if you are not a member yet, join the English-Speaking Union of the United States. Come to our events, volunteer, donate to our programs and be part of a century-old fellowship that carries the ESU’s mission forward.
The Evelyn Wrench Speaker Series, named for ESU founder Sir Evelyn Wrench, brings speakers to ESU Branches throughout the United States over the course of one to two weeks. As part of the program, many renowned historians, politicians and authors have presented their work to ESU members and the general public. Lectures cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: current events; history; language and literature; art and architecture; and travel.
As a kickoff event to the resumption of the Evelyn Wrench Speaker Series, the English-Speaking Union had the honor of hosting Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, DL, on November 10, 2021, when he discussed his recently published book, The White Ship: Conquest, Anarchy and the Wrecking of Henry I’s Dream. Described as “Game of Thrones meets The Titanic, The White Ship has been a U.K. non-fiction bestseller due to its riveting account of the disastrous shipwreck that claimed the life of King Henry I’s only legitimate heir, William, and the subsequent challenges of Henry I’s only legitimate daughter, Empress Matilda, as she struggled to claim the throne.
In March 2022, former British Ambassador to China Sir Christopher Hum KCMG regaled audiences with his insight into US-China diplomatic relations. In April, Dr. Edward Larson, Pulitzer Prize recipient in History and professor in law and history at Pepperdine University, offered a captivating account of the Scopes Trial and America’s continuing debate over science and religion.
And in May 2022, theater historian and accomplished raconteur Mr. Jim Stebbings delighted our ESU Branches with stories on topics of their choosing, ranging from the history of the D’Oyly Carte family whose company staged Gilbert and Sullivan’s Savoy operas in the UK and Europe, to the story behind The Magnificent Seven to his popular lecture on the world, lives and music of Gilbert and Sullivan, which was also presented as an ESU Happy Hour Lecture.
In partnership with Claremont McKenna College and launched with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the ESU Middle School Debate Program teaches students in grades 5-8 fundaments of critical thinking and language arts skills through public speaking. The ESU Middle School Debate is unique in that it maximizes the learning and skill building outcomes by extensive coach and judge training and an adaptation of the parliamentary model of debate for middle-schoolers. The program reaches students at one of the most sensitive times of their development. It enhances their academic performance in language, math and science classes and builds discipline and tolerance of different viewpoints. It appeals to both boys and girls, who competed with students nationwide via zoom for most of 2021-2022. They were thrilled to debate in-person for the Championship in April.
The ESU works closely with a dedicated team of coaches/teachers and volunteer judges to support and grow the leagues, with a focus on public schools and expanding professional development opportunities for teachers such as Debate Centered Instruction (DCI). In July 2021, the ESU helped facilitate a remote three-day, DCI Summer Institute for 36 public school teachers nationwide. DCI is gaining recognition as an important innovation in bringing critical thinking, civic-minded discourse, and media literacy into the classroom. It fosters and encourages an appreciation of the English language, by utilizing debate methods across curriculum to learn, listen and speak – from current events to literature to theater to poetry. Teachers were offered the ongoing support of a DCI mentor throughout the school year.
The Andrew Romay New Immigrant Center (ARNIC) equips recent immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers in the New York metropolitan area with the skills, resources and support they need to integrate fully into U.S. economic and civic life. This needs-based scholarship program offers English language classes, one-to-one conversation sessions with native English speakers as well as opportunities for professional development and community integration.
In the spring, we reintroduced in-person classes after a two-year hiatus. The ESU national headquarters is a vibrant house of immigrants once again. Students use our center as a place to study, relax and network. Our hybrid program combines the accessibility of online activities with the benefits of in-person learning.
ARNIC guides us by offering… very important tools to establish ourselves in our new life: inspiration, confidence, good English…

English in Action (EiA) helps newcomers to the United States master conversational English and learn about life in the U.S. The program fosters cross-cultural exchange by pairing English language learners with volunteer tutors–native English speakers–for one-to-one conversation sessions. A hallmark of the program is its comprehensive tutor training using best practices in cross-cultural learning and leadership development. The tutor training emphasizes work with culturally-diverse populations.
English in Action continues to grow and expand into new areas. We are thrilled that some of our tutors and students have returned to in-person conversations. English in Action now offers both online and in-person volunteer opportunities, attracting new volunteers and providing more options for our students.
The new initiative, English in Action Across America, opens the program to ESU Branch members interested in volunteering. ESU members can now connect online with this meaningful and exciting program.
The ESU National Shakespeare Competition is a performance-based education program supported by ESU Branches across the country. High school students nationwide read, analyze and perform Shakespeare monologues and sonnets in three qualifying stages: school, ESU Branch and national. In the process, they develop analytical and communication skills, build confidence and learn to appreciate the power of the spoken word. Since 1983, more than 400,000 students have brought the timeless works of Shakespeare to life.

The TLab for Lifelong Learners Program opens up to ESU Branch members the international, educational and cultural opportunities previously only available to our middle and high school teachers. The ESU offers one-week programs in the United Kingdom that provide lectures by renowned scholars, behind-the scenes tours, access to archives not open to the public and the company of intellectually curious, worldly and adventurous fellow travelers. Past trips have included Dickens’ London and Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon.
Due to Covid, the programs were cancelled in 2022. The ESU continues to work closely with Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and is looking forward to offering additional one-week programs in the future such as at The Oxford Experience at University of Oxford, Christ Church.
The ESU Secondary School Exchange Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that provides tuition, room and board for US and UK students to spend a semester or year (gap year) abroad between high school and college. Since its inception in 1928, the ESU of the United States and ESU of the Commonwealth have worked closely together to provide the scholarship opportunity for thousands of students to expand their horizons academically and culturally by studying at secondary schools in the US and UK. The second-oldest of our educational programs after the Evelyn Wrench Speaker Series, the SSE is at the heart of the ESU mission to use the English language to foster global understanding and goodwill through cultural and educational exchanges. Through this experience, students gain maturity, independence and global perspectives that benefit them in college and in their future careers.
For the first time since the pandemic, ten students crossed the pond to live and study during the 2021-2022 academic year in the United States and United Kingdom. In London, Dartmouth House again opened its doors to host an in-person Thanksgiving dinner for SSE students and in New York City, ESU National Headquarters welcomed visiting SSE students and alumni to tea. SSE UK and US alumni enjoyed connecting and sharing their experiences via Zoom during the SSE Autumn Alumni Town Hall.
The ESU Luard Morse Scholarship is a merit-based grant that provides up to $25,000 towards a semester of study at a British University. The scholarship is available to American students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States pursuing any discipline and has been awarded to students majoring in economics, philosophy, finance, mathematics, liberal arts and the sciences. Since the inaugural 1969-1970 academic year, 87 exceptional students have been awarded scholarships to study at eighteen universities including Oxford, Cambridge and the London School of Economics.
The 2021-2022 ESU Luard Morse Scholar George Pratt, a History and Religion Major at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, studied at the University of Manchester Spring Semester 2022. An avid debater, George was invited by the ESU of the Commonwealth to serve on a distinguished panel of judges for the Grand Final of the ESU-Churchill Public Speaking Competition at Churchill College, Cambridge in May.
