The British Council is calling for English language teaching (ELT) professionals around the world to enter the ELTons 2016.
Now in their 14th year, the ELTons (British Council Innovation Awards), run annually by British Council and sponsored by Cambridge English Language Assessment and Macmillan Education, celebrate innovation and excellence in ELT worldwide.
ELT professionals can apply in any one of five categories: Excellence in course innovation, Innovation in learner resources, Innovation in teacher resources, Digital innovation, and Local innovation, as well as The Macmillan Education Award for New Talent in Writing.
Application packs can be downloaded from http://englishagenda.britishcouncil.org/eltons, and the submission deadline is November 6, 2015.
Submissions for the writing award are welcome from aspiring ELT authors who may have self-published or made their voices heard through media such as blogs, eBooks or within their own institutions. Applications will be judged by a panel of ELT experts and the winners will be announced at the ELTons awards ceremony in London in June 2016.
Anna Searle, Director of English Language at the British Council, said: “These awards are a great way to showcase the creativity in the sector.”
