Win two weeks in Cambridge!
English language teachers invited to tell their story in new competition.
English language teachers from around the globe are being asked why a teacher development course in Cambridge would benefit them and their students, as part of a competition launched by Cambridge ESOL. The School Sector team at Cambridge ESOL is offering five top prizes of a residential language and methodology course for teachers for the best stories received.
Each prize includes: two weeks of tuition from Bell, en-suite accommodation at Cambridge University (Homerton College), morning and evening meals and travel costs up to a maximum of £200. There are also 100 runner-up prizes of Cambridge ESOL teaching materials for use in the classroom.
The competition is open to all non-native English language teachers working in compulsory education and entrants must have at least an intermediate level of English (CEFR Level B2) – such as the First Certificate in English (FCE).
To enter, teachers need to submit up to 150 words on why a teacher development course in Cambridge would benefit them and their students.
The closing date for entries is Friday 15 January 2010
Winners will be notified by Friday 22 January 2010
Courses run from Sunday 18 July to Saturday 31 July 2010.
