*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.
