The Extensive Reading Foundation: Language Learner Literary Award
The winners of the 2013 Language Learner Literature Awards were honoured, and the 2014 Finalists officially announced, at the IATEFL Conference in Harrogate, UK, on Wednesday 2nd April. Conference delegates and special guests were welcomed by Extensive Reading Foundation board members at an informal reception enlivened by the marvellous music of Steve Bingham on the violin.
The reception was followed by the awards ceremony hosted by Jeremy Harmer. Certificates were presented to the authors of the winners in each of the five categories, or their representatives. Students and teachers were invited to vote for their favourite finalist for 2014 at www.erfoundation.org. Voting closes on June 30.
