Would you like to see your school recognised for originality and inspiration in language teaching and learning by being the next winner of the Threlford Cup?

CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists) awards the Threlford Cup annually to an individual, organisation or project that has encouraged language learning in others
.. The winner is chosen from nominations, and you may either nominate yourself or your school, nominate someone else, or ask someone to nominate you.

If you are a languages teacher who has inspired young minds, if you would like to nominate a colleague who has done something amazing for language learning, or if you know of someone who has worked hard within the local community to keep alive a heritage language and culture, we would love to hear from you.

The award has attracted a variety of outstanding winners in recent years:

2016 – Sally Fagan, Business Language Champions
2015 – the European Master’s in Translation project
2014 – the GCHQ Language Outreach Programme for Schools
2013 – the website thirdyearabroad.com

This year we would like to celebrate the achievements of a school and present the award to someone who has gone the extra mile to encourage language learning. Just download the nomination form here and return it to [email protected] by Friday 28 July 2017.

The Threlford Cup will be presented to the winner by HRH Prince Michael of Kent GCVO at our awards evening in central London on Tuesday 7 November 2017.
