Last year, Camden College of English became the first school in the world to win the British Council's prize for innovation in English language teaching.
This year, I was a judge on the panel for the 2007 awards.
The results were announced last night (01 March), at a wonderful ceremony in London. Many of the most important people in the world of English teaching - academics, course book writers, educators - gathered at the Delfina gallery for a very enjoyable evening.
I would like to congratulate the winners on their success - you can read more about them here.
The British Council describe this as the "Oscars" of English teaching - maybe it's not as glamorous but it certainly means a lot to those who win!
If you want to try something different and innovative then you could join our prize winning course this summer. We only accept 12 students each week, so book early.

Back in dear old England...
What a fantastic holiday!
Greta and I took Ben to Argentina and Uruguay to see his grandparents and we only checked emails from the school everyday! We still managed to have a good rest and enjoy the wonderful weather and food but... Camden College of English was still in our minds.
I want to give a big blog welcome (back) to Rob Tunnell, who is the new Director of Studies at the school. Rob was a teacher at the school for a few years before going travelling and studying more about English as a Foreign Language. We're very pleased to have him back with us at Camden.
At the moment we are all getting ready for the big move to our new building... this is very exciting and I hope to give you more news next week.
A little advertising... our very popular evening courses (General English, Cambridge exams, IELTS preparation, English for Work) are starting again in March and April. Places are very limited so book now!
And finally... congratulations to Chelsea on beating Arsenal in the Carling Cup Final. Come on you blues!!
