Our materials have an excellent reputation for beautiful, contemporary design.
Our CLIL materials are no exception.
However, we don’t just make materials that look pretty. They are designed to be easy to use and
to make the learning experience memorable for both you and your students.

Digital Innovation
We already offer innovative digital packages with many of our courses, but we also know that
being innovative means constant change.
We are always on the look out for new technologies that will enable us to provide you and your
students with the latest, most effective resources for teaching and learning.

Customer Support
Our relationship with you doesn’t stop once you have chosen your classroom materials. Our team
are on hand all year round to answer your questions. As a Santillana-Richmond customer, you will
also have exclusive access to our e-vocación programme with its extensive range of extra

Training
We understand the importance of continued professional development. For this reason the training
workshops and online resources we provide for customers across Spain are a key part of what we do.
We also attend all major national and local conferences, often with our authors and pedagogical
advisers who give workshops and offer one-to-one advice.
