Fellowship of the Association for Language Learning

The award of Fellow, is conferred on long standing members of the Association who have been nominated by their peers, in recognition of their commitment to ALL’s objectives and the support of other languages teachers.

Language Teacher of the Year Awards

The aim of the Primary and Secondary Language Teacher Awards was to support and promote language teaching and to raise the profile of language teaching as a career, recognising exciting, motivating practice among language teachers, celebrating imaginative teaching which inspires language learning in pupils

ALL values the ongoing contributions of its members and wishes to celebrate those who deserve special mention and recognition.

ALL confers the award of Fellow, on those who are long standing members of the Association who have been nominated by their peers, in recognition of their commitment to ALL's objectives and the support of other languages teachers.

In the 2000s ALL worked in partnership with sponsors, to run an award scheme recognising the creativity, dynamism, enthusiasm and skill of inspiring Languages teachers, who add value to their own schools and their local language teaching community.

Fellowship of the Association for Language Learning

ALL fellowship is honorary and is awarded at the discretion of the Management Board (the Association’s Board of Trustees). The award recognises ALL Individual Members who have made a long-standing contribution to language learning in the UK, beyond the call of their professional role and who have supported the work of the Association significantly over time; their contribution might be on the national or local scale.
