The British Council is running a competition to identify and reward innovation in ELT in public primary schools. The winner will fly to London and be invited to attend the IATEFL Conference in Harrogate from 7 to 11 April 2010. We would like to thank our sponsors British Airways, IATEFL and Cambridge ESOL who make this amazing opportunity possible.

	Hornby Scholarship now open
The Hornby Educational Trust offers scholarships to study a one-year full-time Master's Degree in the UK in an ELT-related subject. We are looking for people who want to make a real difference on return to their countries and who will inspire their colleagues.
