Do you manage a language project?
Is your language project innovative
and inspiring?
Does your language project motivate
language learners?
If you can answer ‘yes’ to these three
questions then you could qualify for a European Language Label
award.
The competition recognises and celebrates new
ways to inspire and motivate language learners at all levels and
the search is on to find the most innovative projects for next
year’s European Language Label.
Schools, colleges, adult education, business
and community projects are all invited to take part in the
competition, which last year highlighted all sorts of wonderful
initiatives, from a primary schools project in Devon where pupils
combined language learning with PE to a project where local
businesses enabled pupils to use their language skills in a
real-life business situation.
To qualify for a European Language Label
award, projects must provide an inspiration to others, be
replicable, and involve any language other than English.
Shortlisted projects will be visited by a panel of expert judges,
who will compile a list of the ones they found most innovative and
effective. Winners will attend a prize-giving ceremony in July at
the new European Commission offices in London, where they will be
able to display and share their projects.
There will be special prizes available,
including the annual Mary Glasgow Award of £2000. For more
