RECENT EVENTS
Great Teachers Competition
Last school year (2007/08) Pearson Longman and ELTA paired up for the second time in the Great Teachers Competition. The first task for our competitors was to describe an original ELT game which they do with their students. We received a great number of very interesting fun activities. The task of the jury to decide on the finalists proved to be a difficult one. After a thorough consideration the finalists were decided on and asked to send us a video or audio clip in which they say what it means to be a great teacher. The winner and the runners-up were announced on the first day of the ELTA Conference held in the Sava Centre, Belgrade, from 30th May to 1st June 2008.
The first prize was a trip to England and attendance at the Amazing Minds Conference. It went to Olgica Pešić, an incredibly enthusiastic teacher from Vranje, who regularly engages her students in a number of fun activities transforming her classroom into a wonderful world of English.
The runners-up were Brankica Potić, Livija Šlajher, Jelena Stanisavljević, Agnes Medve i Vanja Dimitrijević. As a prize, they got the fee for the ELTA Conference paid.

Loyalty Campaign
In order to show our appreciation of teachers who continuously use Pearson Longman coursebooks in primary and secondary schools, we have devised a scheme to reward them:
After 3 years of using our books – teachers get a book on ELT methodology of their choice and schools get a set of five Penguin readers
After 5 years of using our books – teachers get another book on ELT methodology and schools get a set of ten Penguin readers
All teachers who have been using our coursebooks for 5 years take part in a lottery in which the lucky winner gets a trip to the United Kingdom. This year the winner was drawn at the ELTA Conference. The prize went to Violeta Savić from Veliko Trnjane.
