Does your school have a truly outstanding German teacher?

The German Embassy in London invites nominations for the 13th annual German Teacher Award.

The purpose of this award is:

• to recognise outstanding achievement by individual teachers of German in the UK
• to highlight and pay tribute to the work of German teachers in the UK
• to encourage the commitment of the winners’ schools to modern language teaching.

The winners will receive a personal prize of £750 and a certificate which will be presented at a special ceremony at the “Sommerfest der Deutschen Sprache” in early summer 2016.

• a record of successful teaching at a school, including innovative language teaching
• successful introduction of German teaching at a school, e.g. in a primary school as a first foreign language or in a secondary school as a new language
• established and successful link activities with Germany, e.g. projects and exchanges, bilingual projects, curriculum projects
• use of German language in subjects other than German
• local or regional outreach activities
