Gillian Porter Ladousse Scholarship

Conference scholarship for a teacher trainer and/or trainee

This conference scholarship was set up by the Trainers and Educators SIG (TTEd SIG) in 1999. The driving force behind the Conference Fund was Gillian Porter Ladousse who was Co-ordinator of the SIG at the time. The fund was set up to enable a teacher trainer and/or a trainee, who would not normally be able to do so, to attend the annual IATEFL conference. The fund was named the Gillian Porter Ladousse Scholarship after Gillian's death in 2002.

One or two scholarships are usually awarded each year, one to a trainer and/or one to a trainee. In the case of two scholarships being awarded, priority will be given to a trainer and trainee who work together, but all other applications will be carefully considered on merit.

The award consists of:

• a conference registration
• £600 towards conference related expenses

To qualify you must:

• be an individual member of IATEFL
• submit a proposal for a talk or workshop about teacher training or education
• be a newcomer with between three and ten years' experience in ELT
• agree to write up your experience for the TTEd SIG newsletter
• agree to write an article for the TTEd SIG newsletter on how attending the conference affected your programme of work in your local context

To be considered you should send electronically:

• a statement (max. 1000 words) of how attending the IATEFL Annual Conference would benefit you, with specific reference to trainer/trainee programmes carried out and/or planned in their local context
• a letter of recommendation from an employer, an established member of the profession or a member of IATEFL of at least three years' standing
• send a brief curriculum vitae
