Application Deadline:May 1st 2019
The EF Excellence Award in Language Teaching recognizes outstanding language teachers from around the world.
The theme for the EF Excellence Award in Language Teaching is “Promoting Cross-Cultural Understanding Through Language Learning.” All full-time language teachers are eligible to apply for the award, regardless of the language or the level that they teach. The application asks teachers to describe learning activities or experiences that they have designed to promote cross-cultural understanding among their students.
These learning activities could be in-class activities, after-school projects, school clubs, or immersive learning experiences (e.g., pen pals, study travel, and exchange students). Selections will be based on the quality and creativity of teachers’ language learning activities and the extent to which these activities promote cross-cultural understanding.
