This year, the ELTons marks its 18th anniversary. The awards are a chance to celebrate the most innovative ways to learn and teach English from around the world, as well as the teams behind them. This year we received 125 applications from 35 countries – across six continents.
For the very first time, the awards’ ceremony was held completely online. It has been our aim to keep the anticipation and sense of community through the awards, despite the fact we couldn't meet in person. So, we created an exciting, virtual ELTons.

The ELTons Judges’ Commendation for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)
To mark the 18th anniversary, we are pleased to introduce the ELTons Judges’ Commendation for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). This is a special commendation for finalists which promote proactive and positive approaches to equality, diversity and inclusion in English language teaching, learning and assessment. The commendation aims to celebrate the courses, books, apps, resources and projects which:
- Bridge educational inequality
- Reflect diversity
- Promote inclusion of certain, typically underrepresented groups
The commendation is intended to encourage improving access to high quality English language teaching for all, and specifically for those who may not typically get access.
