SpeakUP is now Sri Lanka's first DynEd NEO channel partner

SpeakUP has been officially appointed as Sri Lanka's first and only authorised DynEd NEO channel partner. Here is what that means and why it matters for every English learner in Sri Lanka.

We are proud to announce that SpeakUP — a Headway Group initiative — has been appointed as the first and only authorised DynEd NEO channel partner in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. This is a significant milestone, and one we believe will fundamentally change what is possible for English learners across the island.

What is DynEd NEO?

DynEd NEO is the world's most widely used AI-powered English learning platform. Developed over 30 years of applied research, it is used by more than 25 million learners across 40 countries — including students, professionals, corporations and governments.

Unlike language apps that offer simple gamified exercises, DynEd NEO uses sophisticated AI to analyse every learner's performance in real time — tracking not just what they know, but how confidently they use it, how their fluency is developing, and where their weakest points are. The system then adjusts what it teaches next accordingly.

"DynEd NEO was developed by a team that includes graduates from MIT, Stanford and Cambridge. It is not a language app. It is the most advanced English learning system in the world." — DynEd International

Why this matters for Sri Lankan learners

Until now, DynEd NEO has primarily been used by large corporations and government programmes in countries like China, Japan, Turkey and Brazil. Access for individual learners in smaller markets like Sri Lanka has been extremely limited.

As the exclusive Sri Lanka and Maldives channel partner, SpeakUP now has the ability to bring this technology directly to individual Sri Lankan learners — for the first time, at an accessible price point, through a programme specifically designed for the Sri Lankan context.

What this means for SpeakUP students

Every SpeakUP student — from SpeakUP Jr to SpeakUP Pro — learns through DynEd NEO. The AI works silently in the background of every session, personalising what you see, measuring what you've retained, and ensuring you never waste time on things you already know.

Your weekly live sessions with your SpeakUP coach are then specifically designed around what the AI has learned about you that week. Your coach does not have to guess what you need to work on — the system tells them.

About Headway Group Sri Lanka

SpeakUP is a Headway Group initiative. Headway Group has been working in English language education in Sri Lanka for over 15 years — through Headway Learning Solutions (HLS), a B2B corporate English training provider, and Headway City College (HCC) in Ja-Ela, a British Council Platinum Partner institution.

SpeakUP brings the combined experience of the Headway Group into a new, accessible online format — built specifically for Sri Lankan learners who want real results, a real certificate, and real progress in their English.
