Leadership and Management SIG Scholarship

This new scholarship is for a person in an ELT leadership/management role, such as Director of Studies, Academic Manager, Summer School Organiser or similar, to attend the main IATEFL Conference

This  scholarship is funded by the IATEFL Leadership and Management Special Interest Group (LAMSIG) with the aim of assisting managers not otherwise funded to attend conference because learning organisations need learning managers.  You do not need to be a member of IATEFL to apply.

The award consists of:

• conference registration
• LAMSIG pre-conference event registration (if LAMSIG is holding one)
• £800 towards accommodation and travel costs
• a year's IATEFL membership
• a year's LAMSIG membership

To qualify you must:

• be a practising ELT manager
• submit a speaker proposal on ELT leadership/management to present a talk or workshop at the Conference
• agree to write a brief article, from 500-1000 words, to be considered for publication in the LAMSIG newsletter post-conference, on your conference presentation topic,  and a further article of similar length 12 months after the conference, which may be on the most exciting recent development in management, a book you have read, or how you followed up on your conference experience.

To be considered for the scholarship you should apply online including:

• a brief CV highlighting your management experience (2 sides A4 maximum)
• a 400-500 word outline describing what you find most challenging about ELT management
• a passport size photograph (for inclusion in the conference programme if you win)
• a speaker proposal - Please note that your proposal must be submitted by the scholarship application deadline of 22nd August 2011.

If you are a member of IATEFL please submit online.

If you are not a member of IATEFL please complete the special speaker registration form downloadable from Scholarships page as you will not be able to submit online without a valid membership number. If you are the winner of this scholarship, a year's membership is paid for by the scholarship as all presenters must be members of IATEFL.

The submission date is 22nd August 2011.  You will be informed about the award around the end of September.
