Congratulations to Camden College of English on winning an ELTON - the British Council’s English Language teaching award - for their English Language Cultural Experience course.

The course is aimed at adults on holiday that wish to combine learning English with the rich offer of Museums and Culture in London.  Students take all their classes in places such as  the British Museum, National Gallery, Imperial War Museum, Museum of London and National Portrait Gallery.  By using London as a ‘living textbook’ it makes learning English a lot more memorable experience.

As one Italian student, Americo, who took the course commented: “(It is…) a new and more effective way of learning English, more interesting and more enjoyable. It was easier for me to remember new words because I could associate a word with a real thing. I chose the course because I thought it was more enjoyable and effective – and it was!” 

The winners of the ELTONs were described to be ‘among the most imaginative and exciting’ seen in recent years.  The hard work of Camden College’s teachers to bring out such an interesting course is commendable.  Well done to all involved!
