The ɫèAV English Teacher Awards celebrate educators across five different categories, and closely tailoring your application to the category description is a great way to stand out to the judges.?
Teachers can only be nominated for one category, so take a look at the five categories below to find out which is the best fit for your nominee.??
Those very first experiences of learning English can shape a love of language that lasts a lifetime.?
This category is for primary educators who¡¯ve set young learners up for long-term success in English through their nurturing, engaging approach.?
From fun-filled lessons to creative ways to give young learners opportunities to use their new skills, we want to hear about the educators that have filled children with the confidence to get their language learning journey off to a great start.?
Filled with exams, competing priorities and big decisions, the teenage years can be a make-or-break moment for language learning and the future paths it unlocks.?
Making progress with a language rests on feeling confident enough to put skills into practice, which can be difficult for all learners and especially for teenagers.?
This category recognizes dedicated teachers who¡¯ve helped teen learners maintain their engagement and commitment to learning English. We¡¯re looking for teachers who have helped teenagers build the confidence they need to speak up and start to discover the joy of being themselves in English.??
Learning English as an adult comes with its own unique set of motivations and challenges. Learners are often balancing a whole range of competing responsibilities, with high-stakes opportunities, like studying or employment, that rely on language proficiency.?
This category celebrates educators who enable and inspire adult learners with their empathetic, innovative approach, giving them the confidence to learn, perform at their best and unlock new opportunities by learning English.? ?
Teaching is a dynamic discipline that changes with every year, every class and every learner.?
Sometimes, it means finding a completely new way to help learners understand and connect with a subject.??
This category celebrates those who are always striving to bring the best new technology and techniques to teaching English. We¡¯re looking for educators who have challenged traditional practices, implemented innovative teaching methods and inspired change in the way English is taught.??
Teaching is a journey, just like learning English. This category recognizes those with less than three years of experience at the very start of their English language teaching career.?
We¡¯re looking for educators who¡¯ve arrived in the classroom with a whole host of creative ideas and techniques for building learners' confidence.?
Winners in this category will already be leading the way at their school when it comes to shaping the way English is taught and giving learners that ¡°I can do it¡± confidence.?
Once you¡¯ve decided on the right category, it¡¯s time to start your nomination.?
All applications are online via the English Teacher Awards entry page?and there¡¯s just one question to answer:?
How do you/your teacher/your colleague build learners¡¯ confidence to be themselves in English???
The deadline for nominations is midnight (CST) on 1st November.?
Your nominee will receive an automated email letting them know they¡¯ve been nominated. Our team will contact them again if they¡¯re shortlisted as a winner ahead of the online awards ceremony in November 2024.?
In the fast-paced world of business, there is one undeniable fact that holds true: employees are the key to success. Their commitment and expertise propel organizations towards their objectives, which is why investing in a learning culture is essential. The advantages are numerous and include improved staff retention, increased productivity and the goal of higher employee engagement.
Language is not only a tool for communication but also a means to explore and comprehend diverse cultures, traditions, and perspectives. Europe, with its vast array of languages, is a prime example of this linguistic diversity. Each year on September 26th, Europe observes the European Day of Languages, which is a day solely dedicated to celebrating and embracing this linguistic richness.
Europe is a magnificent tapestry of languages, with over 200 spoken throughout the continent. This diversity is a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of each nation and reminds us of the intricate historical, social, and linguistic elements that mold our identities. The European Day of Languages inspires people to cherish and honor this linguistic heritage.
September 26th marks an important date for celebrating linguistic diversity and promoting multilingualism. This day commemorates the adoption of the "European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages" by the Council of Europe in 1992, a crucial document that recognizes and safeguards the linguistic rights of minority languages spoken within European countries. By celebrating the European Day of Languages on this date, it renews our commitment to supporting the rich diversity of languages and cultures that make our world a more vibrant and fascinating place.
The European Day of Languages offers language learners a chance to participate in language exchanges, which is an exciting opportunity. During such exchanges, learners from diverse backgrounds partner up and teach each other their native languages. This not only helps improve language skills but also promotes intercultural understanding.
Various European cities offer language workshops led by enthusiasts and experts, providing an introduction to different languages.
Storytelling is an incredibly effective tool for learning languages. Libraries, schools, and cultural centers hold multilingual storytelling sessions, where stories from different cultures are shared in their original languages. This helps both children and adults to better understand and appreciate the beauty of linguistic diversity.
Cinema provides a wonderful opportunity to explore different languages and cultures. Throughout Europe, foreign films are often shown with subtitles, enabling viewers to fully immerse themselves in new linguistic worlds.
Museums often showcase exhibitions highlighting the linguistic and cultural heritage of various regions, providing insight into the history and traditions of different languages.
Caf¨¦s and restaurants might offer special menus featuring diverse cuisines and multilingual staff ¨C a delightfully tasty way to explore languages and cultures.
Language-based games and competitions, such as crossword puzzles and spelling bees, are organized in schools and communities to provide a fun and educational way to celebrate language.
