Schools, colleges, business and community organisations have until Monday 30 April to provide evidence of creative, motivating and inspirational projects for a chance to win an Award, resources and cash prizes.

 

The European Award for Languages recognises new, motivating language-learning initiatives, which serve as inspiration in other contexts, languages and countries. Prizes include resources and materials from a range of sponsors, including an Award of £1,000 from the Training and Development Agency for Schools for the best project in initial teacher education. Winners will receive their Award from Sir Trevor McDonald at a prize-giving ceremony in the autumn, where one of the winning projects will be selected by the Mary Glasgow Trust to receive its annual award of £2,000.

 

Special awards will also be made for the best projects involving community languages, initial teacher training, French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as primary and adult learners. A business language prize will be awarded to the best project developing language provision to match real needs in the workplace.

 

The application process is straightforward and details can be found at www.cilt.org.uk/eal.
