Cambridge ESOL, part of the U.K-based University of Cambridge, has announced the 2011 Cambridge English Competition for teachers worldwide who do not speak English as mother tongue.
Those joining the competition will submit a 150-word essay by March 1, 2011 to talk about their experience, difficulties and challenges that they have faced when teaching English in their countries.
The topic of this year’s competition is “Briefing your solution for difficulties as teaching English and what you do to create a better learning experience for your students.”
Six winners will be selected and each of them will be offered one of three development courses, including Language and Methodology Refresher (Young Learners), Language and Methodology Refresher (Secondary/Adults), and Teaching Business English for two weeks.
These six teachers will start their courses at the U.K-based Bell Teacher Campus, Homerton College in Cambridge and will be fully-funded for their trips to the U.K from August 14-27, 2011.
In 2010, Cambridge ESOL received over 2,000 entries from teachers in 45 countries. Vietnam and four other teachers from Taiwan, Poland, Kazakhstan and Argentina won the trip to Cambridge to improve English teaching methods.
