The ICTFL Award for College Foreign Language Teaching Majors recognizes college students who are preparing to become teachers of foreign languages. As many as five such awards will be presented annually, to recognize promising students enrolled in Illinois colleges and universities. As of 2015, this henceforth replaces the Carole Ann Ryan Award, which was created in 2002.
Recipients will receive complimentary registration for the ICTFL WinterFest and the ICTFL Fall Conference for Friday and Saturday. They will also receive a one year’s complimentary membership in the Illinois Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and an award certificate, which will be presented at the Fall Conference event. The award does not cover travel to the conference, breakfast, lodging, or the cost of special workshops.
Only complete applications will be considered. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY SEPTEMBER 15.
A jury of ICTFL officers and other members will score the nominations. This process will be supervised by the ICTFL Awards Committee. The determination of the jury shall be final.
